Question

Asked for Male, 39 Years

Hi, I was playing soccer last Friday and I fell down on my back in grass. I started getting pain(mild) in upper abdomen under right rib cage. This pain is going on for 3-4 days and it pains mainly while bending or while sleeping on the right side. Do I need to get it checked with doctor? If yes, shall I go to general physician or any other doctor?

Hello. As per your history given, I think you are suffering from Acute Costochondritis most probably which means inflammation of the muscles and assosiated ribs of that particular area of the right side of the rib cage. You should go for a chest X - Ray for this. For Pain you can take Cap. RAPISONE - D SR, one capsule once a day as required with Cap. Pan -D on empty stomach.
