Hello
Thanks for query .
Constant dull pain below the rib cage can be mostly due to presence of stone either in kidney or ureter nd needs evaluation .

Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis..

Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.
