How to treat rib contusions

After a rib contusion is mainly treated conservatively, local creams can be chosen, such as flurbiprofen babu cream or pain relief cream for local cream physiotherapy. For pain, you can choose oral painkillers, such as lo-fen-zine extended-release tablets. Rib contusions usually recover after a week or two of rest, but if the local pain is significant and prolonged, it is important to be aware of the possibility of linear fractures. It is best to improve CT of the lungs as well as 3D reconstruction of the ribs to accurately determine whether there is just a simple contusion or whether there is a fracture such as an invisible bone fracture. If there is a bone fracture or fracture of the ribs, the recovery time will take one or two months or even longer, and the pain will be more severe, and more intense pain relief treatment may be given.
