Hello,
The urinary tract infection does not cause pain in the rib cage.
I suggest doing a chest x-ray and an abdominal ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis.
Meanwhile, I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
