Pain in the ribs below the left breast

Under the guidance of a doctor, you need to take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs to help relieve the condition. In addition, you need to take medication to control the hormone levels in the body.

2. Costochondritis: The costal cartilage is infected by viruses for a long time, or becomes inflamed due to trauma and other factors, resulting in rib pain and swelling.
