Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query in HealthcareMagic,
Before I could guide you any further, I would like to know few details related:
- any recent history of trauma or fall?
- any history of gastritis, tenderness over the area, swelling over the area, difficulty in breathing?
The most common causes of pain over the left ribs are musculoskeletal, gastritis or pleurisy.
I would suggest you to ask him to take Cap. PAN- DSR once daily for 5 days and also take T. Lyser- D twice daily for 3 days.
If the pain doesn't subside or it worsens, I would suggest you to consult with a doctor for proper examination and further management.
I hope this helps.
Please feel free to discuss further.
Regards
