The rib pain can be relieved by braking and resting, localized hot compresses and medication.
1. Brake rest: If you are in strenuous exercise at this time, you should stop slowly. Avoid prolonged work, sit upright, so that the bilateral intercostal muscles are balanced.
2. Local hot compresses: you can use hot towels to apply continuous hot compresses to the painful area, and appropriate gentle massage can improve the blood circulation of the intercostal muscles and relieve the pain and spasm of the muscles.
3. Medication: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as celecoxib capsules, meloxicam tablets and diclofenac sodium ointment can be used under doctor’s guidance to relieve pain.
If the patient’s symptoms are delayed or aggravated, he/she should consult a doctor in time, and should not blindly use medication by himself/herself.
