Hello- I have had an ache in the right middle side front for months. The severity comes and goes, but is always in the same spot, just below my ribs and slightly inside. I haven t noticed anything like foods that make it worse, if I have a drink of alcohol or not enough water that seems to heighten the pain. It aches at various times, I even notice while I m sleeping. A couple of days ago it was the worse I ve felt it with a sharp stabbing pain that was painful to touch. I m trying to get in to see a Dr. Meanwhile should I be concerned, is there anything I should do, or specific symptoms I should watch for? Thanks!
Hello. Thank you for writing us here.It's most likely to be Costco Chat Doctor.  It could be bacterial or viral which could only be diagnosed with proper examination and investigations. I suggest you to see a doctor for correct diagnosis and the treatment accordingly. They're most likely to ask you to go for a X-ray and ultrasound and provide you with the proper medications.
