Suggest Remedy For Pain In The Ribs After An Injury
Hello, I bruised my ribs last Saturday in a class of martial arts. Initially the pain was not much but last couple of days the pain has increased, especially in the mornings.Is it normal for the pain to increase, or is there a complication? Also, how long does the pain normally last?
I have studied your case and I think that you must be having rib fracture. I would suggest you to get x ray of the chest to confirm the diagnosis. Pain in rib fracture is very intense and it hurts more during coughing and sneezing. Lying on that side also hurts. It is not a complication. Ai would recommend you to take voveron tablet for pain relief. Volini gel local application is also helps. I hope this answers your question. Let me know if there is any other follow up questions. Thanks
