Sharp pain in lower right side of abdomen while sneezing, coughing, bloating in stomach. Active in sports. What could this be?
Patient: I am 17 and am very active in sports. Here lately I have developed a cough that has lasted weeks. Well anyways usually my stomach becomes sore and you can tell my stomach muscles are just sore.. It usually goes away within a few days. BUT.. This time there is a SHARP pain in the mid/lower right side of my abdomen every time I cough,sneeze, apply a slight amount of pressure, breathe in too deeply, or sometimes laugh. Like I said. It hurts to touch and I seem to be a little bloated too! (I don't know if that contributes or not) Doctor: Hi,From history it seems that due to long lasting cough there might be having heavy strain and spasm on abdominal and lower chest muscles giving rise to this problem.Take some analgesic with muscle relaxant medicine to get relief.Apply some muscle relaxant cream on affected part.Ok and take care.
