Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Lower Right Rib Cage While Having Gastritis
hi, I have been diagnosed with gastritis. SInce yesterday I have been in a lot of pain. I am currently using Altosec and Ulsanic but the pain on the right side rib cage (or just below) is extremely painful. How do I know if stomach has started to bleed?
Your symptoms may be suggestive of gallbladder stones so you should do at least an ultrasound or CT scan to evaluate it more accurately. This is caused by a stone in the bile duct and is a very common condition. Stones are seen more commonly in obese people and those with diabetes. You need to change your dietary habits first. Need to avoid fried food, carbonated drinks, coffee, alcohol and spicy food. You should eat more milk products, vegetables and boiled food. If there is no improvement in lifestyle or dietary changes, then surgery is recommended. Other causes include pancreatitis or pleurodynia and should be considered if gallbladder stones are ruled out.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
