English term or phrase: to c/o
I´m about to translate a doctor´s report about a patient suffering a fall injury in Nepal.

It´s not quite clear to me what the expression "to c/o" means in this context.

Here´s the whole sentence: "He started to c/o pain chest right lower ribs and found it difficult to get up..."

Thank you in advance for tips and suggestions!

Happy new year to all of you!
