What Causes On And Off Severe Pain On Ribs?
Hi, my daughter has been complaining of a pain about 2/3 ribs up from the bottom, on her right side it comes and goes but it always returns in the same spot and seems to be very painful for her. I thought it would pass but it has been happening for about a month now.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Prolonged pain over the ribs at the same spot indicates crack fracture of the rib.
Confirm by taking an x-ray, strapping may be necessary for rib fracture.
Better consult ortho specialist.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
