How To Treat Pain Under The Rib Cage Caused Due To Injury?
I had au auto accident 7 days ago caused by a seizure while driving. Air bag deployed and had some pain but nothing like what started last night under my right rib cage. People are telling me broken rib but I think that would have been prevalent immediately. Another person told me several organs are there and any one of them could have had been injured and only showing up now. Not sure if this is a medical emergency or something considered somewhat normal to such an accident
