A rib fracture can cause chest pain. When a rib fracture occurs, there is no local pain at first, mainly there will be severe coughing symptoms, and you will feel swelling and pain in your chest when coughing, and you will also feel more severe chest pain in your chest muscles during contraction, which can cause chest pain. As the disease worsens, the chest pain will become more severe and accompanied by the symptoms of sneezing. During sneezing, the pain on both sides of the chest is also more severe due to the contraction of the chest, and most people will also feel nausea and vomiting and will have excessive sputum, so they need to be treated as soon as possible. Medical treatment involves removing the fractured bone and dead tissue and flattening the end of the fracture to avoid puncturing the surrounding tissue. If the intercostal vessels are damaged, the proximal and distal ends of the ruptured vessels should be sutured separately, and tetanus antiserum and antibiotics should be routinely administered to prevent and treat infection.
