Hi doctor , my mother has a constant pain on her lower  right side below the ribs going down to her pubic bone. She also has a constant dry cough and loss of appetite and is quite fatigued. Any information wold be greatly appreciated .Email
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your mothers situation and problem. Right sided lower rib pain with abdominal pain can be due to either lung pathology or abdominal pathology. Constant Chat Doctor.  Lung pathology like pleural effusion, pneumonia, tuberculosis can cause similar symptoms. Abdominal pathology like Hepatitis, appendicitis etc. can cause similar symptoms. So better to get done chest x-ray to rule out lung causes and ultrasound examination of abdomen to rule out abdominal causes. Hope I have solved your query. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.
