Hi thanks for contacting HCM.
Do you have history of trauma or any unusual activity or heavy weight lift or exercise or blunt trauma???
If yes you could have muscular strain...
Rest and analgesic need for it.
If ribs tender to touch x ray done to rule out fracture of rib..It might also be costochondritis of lower rib.Brufen can be taken...

As your pain is at right side abdomen USG done for rule out liver pathology like fatty liver or colitis like condition...

I hope your concern is solved...

Take care.....
