Good Evening,
Thanks for given info,According to left rib fracture history,swelling in abdomen,can be complicated such as Fracture of the ribs can cause a variety of intrathoracic and intra-abdominal complications. The CT scan did not show pneumothorax; it suggested a colonic rather than gastric perforation due to a presumed intact and distended stomach and the proximity of rib fractures to this splenic flexure.
kindly you need to consult with GP
Thanks for consult
