burning pain

I have a sharp burning pain just below my left rib, I can feel a burning sensation through to my back, it is a constant pain. Went to doctor he gave me medicine for a cough I had but the pain continues. This is 2 plus weeks and the pain has not gotten any better. I take pain reliever 5 to 6 times a day that helps a little. It feels like someone is stabbing me with a knife. Can you give me any information that might help?
