Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Severe Pain Above Right Rib Cage Following Cold, Sinus Infection. On Ibuprofen. Breastfeeding. Suggestions?
I have severe pain at the top right of my rib cage following a 10 day bout with a bad cold and sinus infection . Stayed up many nights coughing frequently. The coughing has subsided, but the rib pain seems to be getting worse--almost excruciating and debilitating. Have been taking ibuprofen , but doesn t help much. I m breastfeeding , so I m limited insofar as taking other pain meds. How long will this pain last? Could a chiropractor help?
10 days is a bit long
Better get yourself examined - to exclude complications like Pleurisy or secondary infection
Costochondritis maybe an incidental association...
Physiotherapy may not help
warm compress may...
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
