I have rib cage pain which medication must i take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rib cage pain: I assume there has been recent strain or injury to cause the discomfort. Anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen or naproxen should help. In the absence of injury, rib cage pain can be from rib pathology or pinched nerve.. See your MD as needed.
