What Causes Rapid Weight Loss And Soreness Under Right Rib Cage?

My husband has lost 6 pounds in the last 6 weeks. He just had an endoscopy and a colonoscopy. The gastroenterologist found an infection in his esophagus. Right after the tests he started feeling a soreness on his right side near his rib cage. Today went for MRI and will have results read by gastro doctor tomorrow.I am worried. Any cause for alarm at this point?
