Dear madam,
It is very difficult to exactly pinpoint the cause of your pain without examination. It may be due to acidity or lung infection or any stone in the kidney.
If the pain is because of acidity, it shall be worsened by ibuprofen.
Do you have any urinary symptoms or cough to point towards possible pathology.
I shall strongly advise you to visit emergency department to ascertain the possible cause of your pain.
You can countinue yourself on ibuprofen but kindly take some antacids also along with ibuprofen.
All the best.
Sincerely
Rajiv Goel

Dear madam,
It appears you are having this pain secondary to acidity. If you were to walk into my clinic I may have suggested you to start yourself on T. ranitidine 150 mg twice daily and also strongly recommended you to undergo endoscopy.

Dear madam,
Your husband can continue the medications as before but he certainly needs to see the doctor to rule out fracture.
All the best.
