I've been having this pain under my left rib that keeps coming and going, and it's been like this for a few days now. It actually just got worse today. Any idea what might be causing it? It's starting to worry me a bit.

Aching under the rib on the left side, with pain coming and going since the last few days could be due to various reasons such as muscle strain, gastritis, or even a possible issue with the spleen. However, since the pain has aggravated today, it is important to rule out any serious conditions such as pancreatitis or a kidney infection. I recommend taking a mild pain reliever like acetaminophen (Tylenol) for the pain, and also consider taking an antacid like omeprazole (Prilosec) if you suspect it could be related to gastritis. It is important to rest, avoid heavy meals, and stay hydrated. If the pain persists or worsens, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with piles and I'm really unsure about what to do next. Could you guide me on the best medicine to take for this?
You can use Anovate cream for local application to reduce pain and inflammation. Apply a small amount of cream on the affected area twice daily after cleaning the area. Make sure to maintain good hygiene and consume a high-fiber diet to help with your condition.
