What to look for in rib pain

Rib pain should be alert to intercostal neuralgia, pulmonary or mediastinal space-occupying lesions, rib lesions and other diseases. 1. Intercostal neuralgia: Intercostal neuralgia is usually caused by over-exertion, mental stress, and a fast pace of work, resulting in a decrease in immunity. You should pay attention to rest and keep relaxing. At the same time, you can take some oral nutritional nerve medication, which can effectively relieve the symptoms. 2. Lung or mediastinal space-occupying lesions: they can invade the pleura and involve the intercostal nerves, causing rib pain. Chest CT can clarify the result. 3. Rib lesions: rib fractures or space-occupying lesions can cause rib pain. It is recommended to ensure regular work and rest, avoid overwork, and maintain a happy mood. If the symptoms are serious and cannot be relieved, it is recommended to go to regular hospitals for professional treatment.
