Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Upper Right Quadrant After Injury
I injured my ribs (right side) in a fall 4 days ago. No x-rays or medical exam have been done. Pain is increasing and my upper stomach feels bloated. Should I be concerned? I have suffered rib injury in the past, and while, painful it healed in time without intervention. I am 62 yeas old.
I suggest you do X-ray abdominal ultrasound and a blood test. It is important to evaluate your condition to avoid any complication like internal bleeding.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Blerina Pasho, General & Family Physician
