thanks for your question
pain under the ribcage can be due to painful muscle or nerve pain or pain due to pleural effusion or pleuritis .
you can get a chest xray done and consult a pulmonologist or a general physcian to rule out all the causes .
for now you can take a pain killer like paracetamol after consulting a physician
thanks
regards
may God bless you with good health
