Hi,
Pain below rib cage can be due to gall bladder stones. Ultrasound examination will be helpful to rule out that. If it is cholecystitis then cholecystectomy surgery might be required. A consultation with Gastro Surgeon is well appreciated.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
