General & Family Physician, Dr. Nishad BN's Response
Hi Thank you for asking HCM I have gone through your query. It can be due to gastritis. In such case taking Esomeprazole(Nexium) daily for 2 weeks will be helpful. But if the pain is superficial on ribs then applying NSAID gels like diclofenac will be helpful. If no improvement doing an ultrasound examination is well appreciated to rule out any underlying problems like gallstones. Thanks.
