How To Treat Pain On Left Side Of Body Just Under Ribs?
my 13yr old son suddenly developed a pain on the left side of body just up under ribs last night. Pain is quite severe and on a scale of 1 to 10 says its an 8. Pain meds dont seem to be touching it. Drinking or eating makes it worse. But what worries me is that he plays football and the other day took an elbow to that side of his body in a tackle. Any suggestions?
