Usage Note
Costado refers specifically to the lateral side of a body or object — the area between the front and back. Estar de costado means to lie on one's side. It is also used for the flank of a ship or building, making it more precise than the general lado.
Examples
"Me duele el costado izquierdo."
Natural Translation
My left side hurts.
