A member asked:

I am having pain under my right ribs and spreading to my back, i am nauseous, belching and may have a slight fever. what could this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

RUQ pain: Sounds like it could be gallbladder disease and possibly infection, though you are a bit young for this. SInce you are having fever you should get checked soon. Call your doctor.
