You will need an xray to ensure there is no fracture and no pleurisy. You will also need a clinical checkup from a competent MD or DNB Physician for that. Don't delay considering your age

Hello There.
I can understand your concern.
at this age,
you should not take these kind of complains lightly.
kindly consult a MD consultant physician in person for further evaluation and management.
You might need to get a X-Ray and a ECG also .
As of now, you can take a cap. Pan-l half an hour before food. but do not delay your visit to the doctor.
Best regards.,
Dr. Anil kumar jain.

Hello there..... . Try placing hot compresses or a heating pad on the painful area several times a day. Keep the heat on a low setting. Ice also might be helpful....Rest. Avoid activities that make your pain worse.... Consider anti inflammatory medication for few days.... Consult your orthopedician if symptoms persists.....
