Hello, my 7yr old daughter has had pain in her left side under rib cage. She said it feels like a bruise. The pain has gone up to her left armpit. She hasn t been eating good and looks a bit pale. Any ideas?.. I give her ibuprofen and she feels a bit better after taking it. She s not as hyper as usual and she s been really sleepy. She will just lay down but not actually fall asleep.
Hello, I have studied your case. I will advise you to consult your doctor for clinical examination. Due to compression of this nerve root there can be pain in your rib. I will advise you to do MRI thoracic spine, HRC [CHEST] and EMG- CV [nerve conduction study]For these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic medication can be started. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
