What Causes Pain On Right Side Below The Rib Cage?
For few weeks now I have pain on my right side just below the rib cage when I drink or eat something cold. It lasts only few seconds but the pain is immediately after swallowing. The pain is more like a pinch from the inside. I don t have any other symptoms than that. What could it be?

HI.
This goes more in favor of a problem with your food-pipe called esophagitis.
I would advise such a patient to undergo upper GI endoscopy to see what is the problem so that the treatment becomes specific.
Till then start Ranitidine , antacid gel 3 hourly, soft bland diet, avoid too cold and too hot foods and liquids.
