How Can A Bruise On The Back Be Treated?

I fell and hit left side around to left back area. Do have black and blue mark there , hurts to turn, cough, sneeze, unfortunately I have a chronic cough, and do not smoke. Hurts to sleep, but have worked since I did it 4 days ago. Do you think muscle or bruised rib? How long does it take to get better, Christmas stuff is here. Ugg. I am an active 60 yr old female

Hi,

If its a small bruise it would take about at least a week to get cleared. In case you are experiencing excruciating pain while doing your regular chores I advised you to get prescribed anti inflammatory medications to relieve pain and bruise. For my patient in my clinic I would have prescribed Paracetamol and Chymoral forte. But I advise you to get it only after prescription from a doctor. You shall be fine soon.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Suhas Chauhan
