Rib cage pain
I am experiencing pain in the right rib. The portion where rib cage ends and curved towards right. The pain is very mild and goes away within 2 to 10 minutes. I had stomach infection recently and had antibiotics and there were symptoms of gerd also for which local dr prescribed me veloz 20. All these medications are completed and currently i am having enzyplex syrup prescribed by same dr. Since that time i am feeling as there is some swelling like below right rib i discussed with same dr also but he didn't considered it as a problem. He checked my whole abdomen because of this issue. The point worth mentioning is that i since that day pushing pressure at that point again and again just to check what is wrong. It doesn't pain on pushing. I want to know that is there something serious? Or is it just because of pushing again and again? I am having gastritis also so are there gas issues?

Try applying an ice pack or heat pad to the rib area (whatever you like) for 10-15 minutes to the rib area where it is hurting for 3-4times a day.You can also take paracetamol for pain if it is really bothering you. Doesn't sound like a serious issue as you mentioned you are hurting only on pushing to that particular area. Wait for 1 week and see if it goes away. If not or if the pain worsen or any new symptoms appear you need to be seen.
