Painful pressure on the right rib cage does not necessarily mean cancer, but is related to respiratory tract infections, lung diseases, trauma, etc. Although frequent painful pressure on the right rib cage may not necessarily be caused by cancer, it may be caused by respiratory tract diseases. In some people, inflammation and infection in the respiratory tract may lead to localized congestion, edema and increased exudate, which may cause pain and discomfort in the right rib cage during strenuous exercise and frequent coughing. Diseases of the lungs, including pneumonia, bronchitis, tuberculosis, asthma, etc., such as viral and bacterial infections of the bronchial tubes, can lead to recurrent coughing, which can cause localized pain when the right rib cage is pressed with the hand. In addition to this, patients can first observe themselves when local pain occurs, because the external force may lead to local soft tissue damage and pain in the rib area.
