Hello,
You have a history of having chronic
intercostal neuralgia on the right side and you tripped and fell. You hurt the ribs on the right side again. Since now you are experiencing acute pain after the fall & also have
abdominal pain and swelling, you are suggested to get clinically examined by a GP. Your treating doctor will recommend a few blood tests, routines tests,
urinalysis and imaging (X-ray, CT, MRI) tests done to detect injury,
fracture, trauma, internal injury, tendon or ligament tear, etc.
You will be treated accordingly. Take rest, do not strain unnecessarily. Avoid addictions if any. For relief you can take NSAIDS, Naproxen or
Combiflam, one SOS when required. Take antacids and PPIs to avoid bloating. Take food that is easily digestible in small amounts.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
