After a rib fracture, you can choose a fixation band to help relieve the pain in the ribs. The cost of fixation straps for ribs is generally not high, usually about one hundred dollars a pair. After a rib fracture, CT and 3D reconstruction of the lungs should be completed in a timely manner to accurately determine the number of rib fractures and whether there is a combined hemopneumothorax to facilitate the determination of the treatment plan. For simple rib fractures, timely fixation and braking with a fixed band can relieve local pain. The other thing is that you can take painkillers, such as lo-fen-zine extended-release tablets, and you can take blood-stasis-activating drugs, such as blood-activating and pain-relieving capsules. It takes at least 3 months for a rib fracture to heal completely, so pay attention to resting and avoiding premature local exertion to affect the healing of the fracture.
