Accepted Answer

Sprain?: Pain in the left side of the ribs can be caused by straining or spraining the ribs.  This can happen from falling or even sneezing/coughing.  This pain could also indicate a problem in the chest cavity such as pleurisy or pneumonia.  To treat a sprain - anti-inflammatories and time (sometimes 4 weeks).  If you have fever and cough - see your PCP.

Question 5

for about 1 week alone in the evenings after dinner i have felt a sensation of inflammation or swelling in the face on the left side.
what could it be

Accepted Answer

Doctor can examine: Assuming a teen is eating and drinking different things each day of the week, facial symptoms should not be directly due to the food. That means symptoms could be due to the eating process:  biting, chewing, salivating, swallowing, etc...  One not-so-rare problem is partial blockage of a salivary duct. That can cause some swelling in a saliva gland during eating because some saliva can't get out.

had a call came back being.
all that was said.
could i still have gastritis?
worried.
left message for dr to call me back?

Accepted Answer

: ..call came back being what? I am not a mind reader.  There are many causes of gastritis. Get clarification from the Dr that did the endoscopy.  If GERD and you have not tried elevating head of bed 8 inches that may help. Gravity never sleeps.

Question 9

my left side of throat hurts and the pain is spreading to head. diagnosed with throat inflammation. please advise if i need to  do further tests. ?

Accepted Answer

Dr. can re-check: Throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from other causes such as allergies or irritants. Usually, a person sees the doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly. A rapid test swab can detect strep in 5 minutes. One must be sure to tell the doctor if any oral sex activities.

Question 10

hi, sharp pain / discomfort on my left side of the chest, on the rib cage. blood test came negative, x-rays scans found nothing. i was told there was inflammation and i needed to drink more water. pain still persists. ?

Accepted Answer

Chest pain : While testing seems to be negative, did you have a physical examination? Do you have tenderness of the ribs? Inflammation -? where? more details are needed. My quick guess is you have rib pain.
