Left-sided rib pain may result from trauma, chronic overuse injury, or costochondritis. Symptomatic relief can be achieved with oral anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications—such as ibuprofen or amoxicillin capsules—and applying heat therapy. Additionally, adequate rest and avoidance of excessive physical strain are recommended in daily life.
