my 13 yr old daughter has severe pain under her lower right rib cage. she keeps saying it feels like there s a bubble in there. today I could feel it while she was breathing- it felt like air bubbling or a bubbling sensation. We ve already been to dr, they thought she either strained her diaphragm or the cartilage on her ribs. He did not feel the bubbling sensation i felt today. What could it be?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion it is gaseous distention of stomach which gives you sensation of bubble. The most common cause for this is gastritis. So try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid hot and spicy food. 2. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. 3. Avoid stress and anxiety. 4. Start proton pump inhibitor. 5. Go for walk after meals. 6. Keep 2 - 3 pillows under head in the bed.
