What Causes Left Sided Rib Pain?
Hi, my daughter is 7 years old and she had some oily food last night and this morning had a little oily and spicy curry as well She started to complain of left sided pain in her rib area, just above her left arm elbow if keeping the arm at her side. Later she had vomiting around 6 times and also said she had some sweaty palms, may I know why?

HI your child might be having Gastritis due to the food she consumed as it is also associated with vomiting.We call it as Heart burn also.Give her some bland diet with out spicy oil food and plenty of fluids.Antacids like Digene can be given along with antiemetics on consultation of your doctor for proper dose base on her weight
