Is Pain Underneath My Right Rib Cage Related To A Liver Issue?
Hi, It can be muscular or related to lung too but yes more possibility is of liver or gall bladder which are both located int he same area. It s better to get a liver function test as well as ultrasound abdomen in fasting to look for liver as well as gall bladder. Meanwhile OTC analgesics like acetaminophen or Ibuprofen can be helpful. If pain persists, viral serologies and CT may be needed. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
