How to treat inflammation of the ribs

Inflammation of ribs generally refers to costochondritis, and its treatment includes general treatment, drug treatment, surgical treatment and other treatments. 1. General treatment: patients should pay attention to rest. Local hot compresses can be applied to relieve pain. 2.
