Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
There are three possibilities -
1. Muscle pain since deep breath and cough worsens the pain
2. Pleurisy - for the same reason mentioned above
3. Peptic ulcer disease - just taking only the location in to consideration
Chest xray may be done.
Take Ultracet twice a day till relief.
Take Pantoprazole 40 mg once day before food till relief.
Yes, you can take non vegetarian diet.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.
