Suggest Remedy For Pain In Left Side Below The Ribs

My 10 year old daughter is complaining of pain in her left side just below her ribs. She says it hurts every time she breathes out. She says laying on her stomach makes it not hurt. This happened one other time a last week and lasted for about three hours. She is not crying but walks hunched over because it hurts.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. The possible causes of the pain below the ribs could be acidity, stretch or strain or simple apprehension and anxiety. You do mention that the same symptom was present before so days and it went away after three hours. First of all motivate her that this is nothing. Then apply some mild pain killer gels and convince her that with this treatment the pain should vanish. Encourage her to divert her attention towards more entertaining and creative tasks. Inspite of all this, if the pain persist, consult a doctor.

If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Please remember to describe the whole problem with full detail.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck. Take care.
