What Does Swelling Under The Rib Cage On The Right Side Indicate?
This has happened a lot lately. I eat or drink (amount does not matter) and the area under my right rib cage swells a bit. It reminds me of when my kids were in utero and they would stretch a little. There is not real pain. It is almost like a gas bubble under the skin.

What Does Swelling Under The Rib Cage On The Right Side Indicate?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Swelling under right rib cage may be 1.gall bladder enlargement. 2.beading of ribs in rickets. 3.hepatitis. 4.bloating of hepatic flexur of colon etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please consult your surgeon he will examine and treat you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
