Suggest remedy for pain below rib cage
Patient: Hi I m 22 and been getting really bad pains below my right rib cage for around 3 week s now it got that bad last week that I got rushed into hospital with it, the doctors did a ecg and checked for blood clots and I also had a xray nothing showed on results so they put it down to a chest infection and gave me some antibiotics, I completed the course but the pains still there for the past 3 days I ve been hearing a loud growling noise from my tummy and now I have pale and mucusy stools with blood and advice please as I m getting worried ans have 3 children to look after and I m struggling with day to day activities thanks, Leanne Doctor: Hello,I read carefully your query and understand your concern. Your pain seem to be related to the presence of gas in the colon. I suggest using Simethicone medications three times a day. I also suggest using a spasmolytic to relieve the pain.I recommend to drink liquids and eat a plain diet.Hope my answer was helpful.If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.Kind regards!
