Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain in the lower rib area can be due to a muscle sprain or costochondritis. Most of the times such pains improve on taking mild pain killers, doing a hot fomentation and taking adequate rest.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
