Suggest Remedies For Painful Bruise On Lower Left Side Of Ribcage
I fell off a ladder and landed on a counter with the lower left side of my ribcage. it was painful but showed now bruising. two days later I tried to lift something very heavy and it felt like something popped under my ribs. it became more painful and my digestive tract seems to have gone haywire with diahrea and massive amounts of gas. any ideas?

Hi dear thanks for writing to Healthcare Magic!!
You need urgent investigation X ray abdomen and CT scan to check the fracture and any internal damage, so i advise it to do that immediately also do not lift any heavy object, it may worsen the matter.Bed rest if possible and take Tab Hifenac P for pain relief and Analgesic ointment on affected area, take tab pantocid for gastric troubles and tab loperamide for diarrhoea but X ray and scan are the priority.
Hope this information helps you
Thanks and regards
