How Much Time Does The Fractured Tibia Take To Recover?

Hi, I had flu about a week ago and since then have had a cough. It is starting to go and is not on my chest, mostly seems like I still have a lot of catarrh in my system. I am pretty much back to normal apart from cough. Would it be ok for me to go swimming as I feel like some exercise might help get things moving.

hi,

the question and the history are different. still I will go along with your history. You mentioned you had flu and having cough. You should do deep breathing exercises and perform costal breathing exercises to make lungs stronger. I know it's boring thing to do but it does miracles as well. If you want to go for swimming you can go if you have a facility of warm pool. Avoid cold water for time being in the pool as it may give a chances to go closer to cold again. after a week or so you may go for swimming but for time being if you avoid it will be good.

with the grace of God I wish you a speedy recovery
