What is the pain in the upper right chest?

1. Nonspecific costochondritis

Patients feel chest pain in the early stage of the disease. After a few days, swelling, bulge, dull pain or sharp pain appear in the affected rib cartilage. The site of occurrence is mostly in the 2nd to 4th rib cartilage beside the sternum, with the 2nd rib cartilage being the most common, and occasionally it may also occur in the costal arch. This disease often invades a single rib, and occasionally multiple ribs or both sides of the ribs are affected at the same time. Local tenderness is obvious, and the pain radiates severely to the back scapula or side shoulder, upper arm, and axilla, and is aggravated by deep breathing, coughing, and activities. Because the lesion is above the breast, the breast on the same side also has referred pain, and female patients mistakenly think it is breast pain and seek medical treatment.

The course of the disease may last for a few hours or days, but it may recur, usually healing on its own within a few months, but in some cases it may last for several years.

2. Infectious costochondria

The local skin will be red, swollen, hot and painful, with chest pain as the main symptom. Most of the symptoms start with this, and the severity varies. The patient dare not take a deep breath or cough due to chest pain, which can easily cause lung infection. Soft tissue necrosis can form abscesses, and abscess rupture can form sinuses. Patients often have obvious systemic infection symptoms.

Rib fractures

If you have a rib fracture, first of all, the pain is more obvious. Whether you are resting or exercising, you will feel pain, but the pain is more obvious when you exercise. Secondly, when the fracture occurs, there will also be a feeling of chest tightness, and sometimes swelling.
