Hi
Generally in rib fracture treatement is conservative unless the bone has pierced the lung and if there is paradoxical breathing.
For conservative treatement you need to wear rib belt and take mild to moderate analgesic and ice application... your pain will take atleast a mont for complete subside.
Get well soon.
Thank you.
