Depending on the severity of the injury, soft tissue contusions, rib contusions or rib fractures can occur after a rib injury, and it is recommended to go to the hospital for a clear diagnosis and take the appropriate treatment. Oral medications are generally used to support symptomatic treatment. If local swelling and pain occur, oral anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs can be taken, such as diclofenac and celecoxib, which are commonly used as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs. If the swelling and pain are relieved after anti-inflammatory and analgesic treatment, but there is still mild local swelling and discomfort, you can take oral blood-activating and blood-stasis-relieving drugs, such as Tongluo Kaiqiao Tablets, Bone Injury Recovery Pills, etc., to promote the dissipation of inflammation. In addition, patients with rib fractures may not dare to cough or breathe deeply due to the severe pain that occurs when they exhale or cough, resulting in the accumulation of phlegm in the lungs and secondary infections, so at this time, you can also take some phlegm-reducing drugs orally to clear the airways and avoid secondary infections. If the local muscles of the rib cage are in strong spasm and tension due to pain, you can also take oral cloxazone tablets to relax the muscles and relieve the local spasm and tension. Patients are advised to go to the hospital and take the appropriate oral medication under the guidance of a doctor.
