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.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please consult your surgeon he will examine and treat you accordingly.
