A fracture of a rib does not usually affect walking, because after a fracture of a rib there is often no obvious displacement of the fracture end, only a crack, and the alignment is relatively good, and the rib is surrounded by intercostal muscles, which can play a good fixation effect, so there is no difficulty in breathing and severe local pain symptoms during walking. Therefore, don’t worry too much after a rib fracture, relax and take some oral anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving drugs to reduce the pain and promote the healing of the fracture. If the pain is severe, a thoracic immobilization band can be used to fix the fractured end, which can help reduce the pain. In addition, it is important to increase coughing and sputum excretion as well as breathing heavily, which can prevent the accumulation of sputum and the development of infection in the lungs, and will also prevent the development of atelectasis. If it is difficult to cough up sputum, oral anti-infective medications can be taken to prevent intrapulmonary infections.
