What Causes Pain In The Ribs On The Left Side?

I am a 48 year old white male (Italian descent). Married, 5 children. I have had tests of a fatty liver and high cholesterol. I have been having pain in my left ribs that is sharp at times. It started more specific and now has become more diffuse. The pain is moderate and has lasted over a week. My spit has blood in it, though I have no cuts in my mouth. I recently took Malaria medicine for a trip to Haiti in October. That was the first time I saw blood in my mouth. Then again, it started today. My breath is also affected. Thanks for any help!

Hello,
As you have taken antimalarial medicine which causes severe gastritis that's why you have had spitt a blood..
*The pain which you hve around left ribs that shows you may have spleen enlargement which is also because of Malaria..as In Malarai spleen enlargement is common.
*First of all consult physician and do recheck your blood for Malaria
*You can also take Homoeopatic medicine Cinchona 200(4pills) twice a day for 1 week which is very effective medicine for Malarai..
Along with this
*Take warm water..
*Take more liquids like coconut water,butter milk, milk, lemon juice, fruit juices.
*Have enough rest.
*Be stressfree..
