Hello,
Stomach pain along with diarrhea s likely to be due to gastrointestinal infection. Pain below the rib cage can be due to the same infection. I suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment, investigations and thus management.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
