In women with vague pain above the right chest, the possibility of costochondritis is more likely. Costochondritis is usually treated symptomatically only, such as oral analgesics, local heat, physical therapy or local closure. Systemic or local application of adrenocorticosteroids can also help reduce symptoms. In the acute stage, oral erythromycin and morpholine bisphosphonate can be given, and antiviral drugs such as viralin are given for treatment. Hormones, such as prednisone or dexamethasone, can also be used. Local direct injection of lidocaine can be used for severe pain. If the pain is not relieved by long-term medication, affecting the patient’s mood and work, or if local malignancy cannot be ruled out, rib chondroidectomy should be considered. Since the occurrence of costochondritis may be related to upper respiratory tract infections, prevention begins with avoiding upper respiratory tract infections, frequently opening windows for fresh indoor air, and paying attention to daily warmth to prevent cold. Raise awareness of protection during labor, avoid incorrect posture in lifting heavy objects, and do not exert too much force, which can lead to local ligament damage.
