I'm really worried about my grandfather. He's had this persistent pain on the left side of his lower ribs for over a month now, about 34 days, and it gets worse when he touches it or coughs. He hasn't had any accidents or injuries recently, so I'm confused about what's going on. Could you advise me on what we should do next to help him feel better?
