Patients with rib fractures usually cannot drink alcohol, the details are as follows: 1. After a rib fracture occurs, there will be local vascular damage and even local hematoma, if drinking alcohol will significantly increase the amount of bleeding, and at the same time, a large limited hematoma will form, which can be secondary to infection and lead to serious consequences, and is also not conducive to the healing of the fracture. 2. Patients with rib fractures can also cause damage to surrounding tissues, such as muscle damage, nerve Injuries, as well as lung and pleural injuries, all of which require gradual recovery, and drinking alcohol can aggravate local swelling and impair blood circulation supply, affecting other tissue repair. Therefore, it is best for patients with rib fractures not to drink alcohol until the fracture and the surrounding soft tissues have fully recovered in about three months before drinking alcohol in moderation.
