Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. This can be a costo-chon Chat Doctor. A 7-day course of an anti-inflammatory medicines and steroids should help her. The pain going into the stomach area is due to the subcostal nerve getting inflamed and gives a referred pain. Nothing much to worry about it.
