What is the treatment of pain on right side under ribs ?
Patient: I ve been having some dull achy pain on my right side under my ribs. It comes and goes. I stopped alcohol and smoking over 2 weeks ago. I ve got insomnia and have been taking one Tylenol PM every night for sleep. My stool was yellowish, not very solid this morning. What should I do? Doctor: Hello,  As mentioned in history about the old habits of alcohol and smoking which is stopped past two weeks and now the symptoms of pain on the right side of the upper abdominal region I would advise you to first get few things done.   Get an ultrasound abdomen done along with an x-ray chest, a blood routine and a urine routine.  Since there shouldn't be any major stuff to understand by the exterior view.   It is always good that a proper examination is done with some diagnostic procedure to rule out the pathology related to the liver or some other organ.  Rest assured, once you follow the steps of advice things shouldn't go bad.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
