Suggest Treatment For Strained Abdominal Muscle
I feel like I strained my ab muscle on my right side just under the ribs. How long might this hurt and is there anything else I should be concerned about? I don t remember hurting it but it is real sore and if I cough or sneeze it really hurts to do that.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to a strained abdominal muscle.
I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain.
I also recommend using cold compress for a local application.
The symptoms may last for a few weeks.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
