Question

I've been having really bad pain inside my right rib cage for a few days now, and it's been so intense that I can't really sleep at night. I went to see some doctors nearby and got an X-ray of my rib, but they couldn't figure out what's causing it. There's been no injury, no vomiting, and no cough. The pain gets a lot worse whenever I inhale, sneeze, laugh, or even yawn. What could be going on?

To help relieve the pain and promote healing, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area and practicing gentle stretching exercises for the rib cage muscles can also help. Make sure to get plenty of rest and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it's important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.
