<bot>: Hi. Thanks for your query, read your history and understood your problems. Pain 5 days-upper abdomen - right rib cage - on deep inhalation. The probable causes are :Costco Chat Doctor. Lower lung and / or pleura inflammation. Intercostal muscle sprain. Any pathology near diaphragm-this a be a liver swelling, cholecystitis and so on. I would advise you the following:A good physical examination by a Doctor is necessary as local palpation can only give a clinical diagnosis in certain problems. X-ray of the chest. Ultrasonography of the abdomen. Get a diagnosis and a correct treatment after diagnosis. Wishing you a good health.
