lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. I have gone through the details given, but the information is too general. It is difficult to know what is the problem as only pain in rib cage is mentioned. Which part, what is the intensity, frequency, whether there is any cough, or problem with breathing etc, Plus there is no mention of blood glucose levels, HbA1c%, medication for diabetes and any other related problems. Unless these things are known it is difficult to suggest any medication. Further in this communication we are supposed to give only general guidelines, no prescriptions are allowed. She may need in some pain killers and there may be a need for some investigations to find out the cause. Thanks.
