What Causes Sharp Pain Below The Rib Cage And Cough?
Yesterday afternoon while reaching with my right hand I coughed (residual of bronchitis) and experienced a sharp pain under my lower left rib cage. Had to take Tylenol to get to sleep and the pain has not subsided. Still quite painful when I cough or sneeze and my left lower abdomen is painful to touch. Feels like I tore something loose down there!!!
Hello dear from my opinion I am suggesting that you may be having a pneumonia following the symptoms you displayed meanwhile go to a nearby lab center let them conduct a sputum culture chest x-ray meanwhile take tablet ceporex while waiting for the results
