Suggest Treatment For Pain Rib Cage

HI. My 74 yo Father in law fell over a week ago and has since suffered upper right Quadrant pain. Today he asked me if I know why he might be having diarrhea and vomiting. The color of both was a very dark purple. He is on coumadin. He reports no other pain than the previous ribcage pain.

Hello,

I suggest you to get an ultrasound abdomen to know status of organs and thus cause of abdominal pain.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
