Is It Normal To Have Sharp Pain In Lower Rib Cage And Painful Breathing After Getting A Flu Shot?
I just had my flu shot, and for some reason I came down with a really bad flu. Although symptons of flue are going away, I have been having a sharp pain in my lower rib cage. It feels like its going away, but it's still really painful to breath in. Just don't want to go to doctor, unless i have to.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
Some times after having the vaccination , some people may get fever. It may get cleared after few days.
The pain you are getting now may be due to the gastric irritation, caused by the medicines, or fever it self.
I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts,and
protein rich foods to hasten the recovery.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
