Suggest Treatment For Pain Under Ribs Along With Cough

Hi I have a pain just under the right side of my ribs, sometimes makes me cough. I am asthmatic. And a pain just above my breast bone. 3 years ago I had my gall bladder removed. Four days ago, I felt the pain that stretched from just under my right shoulder blade and ended just under my breast bone, however, I no longer feel this pain. I restarted a keep fit exercise program. For the last couple of months I have been consuming cheese and fried chicken at least twice per week. I also suffer from scolosis and have been diagnosed with a double curvature. From the cervical spine and the other in my lower back. I attend college so I do have to carry quite a few books and they are usually carried on my right shoulder.

Pulmonologist 's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of musculoskeletal pain due to carrying books, spinal curvature problem and exercise is more.
So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in musculoskeletal pain.
1. Avoid movements causing pain.
2. Avoid bad postures in sleep.
3. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
4. Sit with proper back and chest support.
5. Take painkiller like ibuprofen.
6. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 1-2 weeks.
If not then then consult pulmonologist to rule out worsening of asthma.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
