A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rib pain: It's important to determine the cause of your pain. Have you injured or strained your rib cage? Do you have cough, fever, sharp pain with a deep breath or other breathing problems? If an injury, apply alternating cols & hot applications. If a pulmonary problem is likely, see a physician for evaluation. I'm sure your OB would approve of your taking acetaminophen for pain relief. Notify him/her .
