Can Heating Pad Be Used For Pain Under Rib Cage Due To Enlarged Spleen? Taking Ibuprofen, Multivitamin
My daughter has a mildly enlarged spleen due to epstein bar virus. Her IGG was 8.0. She is feeling really bad. Really hurts under her left rib cage. Is it okay to put a heating pad on an enlarged spleen? Her ct scan performed 2 days ago showed mild splenomegaly. She is taking Ibuprofen and Tramadol for the pain. SHe is taking a multivitamin and B-100. He gave her Celebrex but she cant take Advil with that and the Advil seems to work better than Celebrex. Any other suggestions?
