Suggest Remedy For Persistent Dull Pain In Ribs And Metallic Taste In Mouth

I am having a dull ache pain behind my lower left ribs with a metallic taste in my mouth. It has been persistent all day and I am wondering if I should be concerned. Almost 4 months ago, I overdosed on ibuprofen whilst taking citalopram, as I knew NSAIDs could have an interaction. I didn t die, and regret it now, but am worried that any damage I may have caused myself by doing this could be coming back to haunt me now.

Pain in lower left ribs along with metallic taste indicate possibility of gastritis which is quite likely since you had consumed an over dose of Ibuprofen.kindly consult a general physician for it.
You may try Pentoprazole 40 mg ODX days.
