What Causes Ribs Pain With Breathing, Sneezing, Coughing Or Burping?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... I had a lap chole one week and one day ago. I am now havin pain under my ribs on the right side especially with deep breaths, sneezing, coughing, burping. I've also been really hot, sweaty at times with no activity. I checked my tympanic temp and it's at 100. Do I need to be concerned?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, you should definitely consult your doctor.
Laparoscopy surgeries are more prone for pneumonia because of passive atelectesis of lower lobes of lungs.
And chest pain on sneezing, coughing, burping with fever and sweating are symptoms of pneumonia.
So get done chest x ray first.
If chest x ray is normal then no need to worry much.
But if chest x ray is showing pneumonia then you will need antibiotics and other supportive drugs.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
