I, Dear,Good Morning, and Thanks for your query to my virtual Clinic At Chat Doctor. I studied your query in depth and understood your concerns. Causes for pain in ribs when touched are as follows-a-Mostly they are -Bronchitis with pleuritic ? Or with intercostal rib entrapment ? Or could be Shingles-with Herpes zoster post-bronchitis. I would advise X-ray Chest to rule out any pneumonia and consultation with Thorasic-Physician and Surgeon.Don't worry of them, as they could be relieved with proper treatment.
