[|Human|] I recently had pain in my front in between my rib cage when I would sit up and also lower.. It would hurt when I cough or laugh that lasted a week it s been two weeks and I ve notice my left rib cage is like half a inch higher than my right ,, it doesn t hurt really anymore it seems the pain is in my back now,, what could this mean? And should I go see someone ?
[|AI|]  Hi and thanks for your query, Its actually an issue of concern. Cough a rib cage pain usually indicates an issue with the thoracic cavity. This could be an infection of a deformation. However, it's not certain whether your measurements were accurate or not. It is imperative for you to a chest X-rays, and get your lungs and sputum checked. This could be a lung infection or a pleural effusion most of the time. I suggest you take an appointment with a pulmonologist for a proper evaluation. Thanks and best regards, Luchuo, MD.
