My mother has a small lump

2021-05-10 12:05:59
She has a small lump kind of a thing on the ribs( as small as an ant bite) to be more precise behind her lungs. she has it on both sides of her ribs... She is noticing it since 3-4 days. When she presses it, it is painful. She is worried if it could be something serious. Can you help clarify...
