What Causes Uncomfortable Pain Around Lower Ribs?

I have an uncomfortable pain around my lower ribs. It developed earlier this morning and lasted for half an hour. Now its returned and has been with me for nearly an hour. I took Tums with the first bout, Tylenol at the start of the second bout, and have clutched a hot water bag. I felt nauseous a little while ago (very unusual for me) no vomiting but excessive salivation. hat should I do?

Hello,

The symptoms are probably related to a pulled muscle. I suggest using a muscle relaxant such as Baclofen three times a day. I also suggest using magnesium supplement for muscle relaxation.

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