If you can accurately tell the 5th rib fracture, you must have been treated by a professional doctor and received a professional diagnosis, so just follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment. Conventional treatment includes the following: 1. local braking and rest, including bed rest, chest belt protection, and appropriate local pressure protection when breathing or coughing. 2. symptomatic treatment, mainly for blood circulation, anti-inflammatory and analgesic treatment, you can take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs orally for anti-inflammatory and analgesic. At the same time, you can take oral Chinese medicine such as Bone Injury Recovery Pill to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, which can help local hematoma dissipation, promote tissue repair and promote fracture healing. In addition, physical therapy, such as hot compresses, baking electricity and spectrum irradiation, can also help local blood circulation and promote tissue repair and fracture growth. A single rib fracture with no serious complications after doctor’s examination can be recovered after about 2 months with complete healing of the fracture without any after-effects.
