What Causes Pain In Ribs Going To Back?

Thanks! My 14 yr old daughter is complaining of hurting pretty bad from her left side under her ribs going all the way around to her back. She has been on all break from school so she hasn t been very active this past week like she is used to. But she also has been drinking quite a bit of sweet tea. Any ideas as to what may be causing this?

Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that your daughter is likely to have muscular pain but should got ultrasound of abdomen to rule out abomen and kidney related cause . Treatment of it is rest and analgesics (diclofenac three times a day after meals).Muscle relaxant such as thiocolchicoside can be added Vitamin B-complex and Vitamin C supplementation can used to promote healing. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
