Suggest Treatment For Rib Bruising
Hi! I play rugby and bruised my ribs during practice (at least, that is what I suspect, because my right chest was tender/painful afterwards). The next day, I developed chest congestion and a semi-productive cough, together with losing my voice, that hasn t gone away in a week. Should I be worried? All I ve been doing is taking Mucinex

Hello,
As of now you can use analgesics/anti inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
You can apply icepacks for faster recovery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
