A member asked:

Right upper side of rib hurts (under bust) when i move in a certain way, inhale & exhale, cough & especially when sneezing, very painful. persistent for 2 weeks, began 1 week after abx to treat severe dry hacking cough. ibuprofen 10% gel not working?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

With coughing or sneezing, a rib can become dislocated at the junction with the sternum, and subsequent pain will occur even with movement, and with deep inhaling/exhaling. This will heal gradually, the slowness of the healing process made so with any abrupt motion and/or respiratory efforts.
