Suggest Remedy For Chest Pain While Coughing
I went to the ER almost 2weeks ago after falling into the wooden arm of my couch while moving it. They did x-Ray and said bruised ribs. Prescribed ultram and muscle relaxer. First few days seemed better but the past 4 days have been worse. Meds don t help, I m having to get help to get up from a sitting or lying position very painful to cough and laugh and bend over. What should I do

Hi. I can understand your concern.
Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more.
Ibuprofen is anti inflammatory.
You will definitely improve with combination of painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs.
Also apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Avoid movements causing pain.
Don't worry, you will be alright in 1-2 weeks.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
