What causes pain on right side under rib cage?

My father used to complain about pain under his right rib cage, and now I'm feeling something similar. It's a dull ache that sometimes feels a bit sharp. I'm wondering if it's related to digestion or something else.

I am not a doctor, but I had a dull ache on my right side under the ribs last year. In my case, the doctor found it was due to a fatty liver and some gallstone issues, which required me to completely change my diet. I can only suggest getting a proper ultrasound done.

I have just started feeling this mild pain under my right rib cage since yesterday morning, and I'm a bit nervous. Does this kind of pain usually happen because of gas, or could it be something else? If anyone could guide me on what to do first, I would appreciate it.

Dude, I got this right-side rib pain after a weekend of heavy eating and drinking. Turned out my liver was just super stressed and I had bad acidity. I cut out the junk food and it cleared up, but seriously, go get an ultrasound if it doesn't stop.

Haan, right side ka pain can be really annoying, na. Sometimes we think it is some serious issue, but actually it is just heavy acidity or muscle pull. Apne khaane pe thoda dhyan do and spicy band karo, but agar zyada dukh raha hai toh doc ko dikhana hi sabse best hai.

I see this query quite often in our community. Pain under the right rib cage is frequently linked to gallbladder issues or gas buildup in the liver bend of the colon. My warm advice is to keep your meals non-greasy and book an appointment with a gastroenterologist for peace of mind.

I went into absolute panic mode when my right side started aching, thinking my appendix or liver was failing. But when I went to the clinic, it was just a simple intercostal muscle strain from a bad twist during gym. Relax, it is most likely nothing major, but a quick doctor visit will clear your doubts.
