Could Sharp Pain Under Top Rib Be Due To A Pulled Muscle?
Hi my 9 year old son is complaining of sharp pain right under top rib on the right side. He was at a gymnastic party today, could he have pulled a muscle? No upset stomach or other symptoms. I have him laying down flat on the couch trying to stretch out. Any insight?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Apply ice pack over affected area for 10 min 2 to 3 times a day.
Give acetaminophen for pain relief 6 to 8 hourly.
Do not do any stretching.
Wait for 24 hours if pain got worse get him examined by doctor.
Hope this helps.
Take care..
