How To Treat A Broken Rib?

My husband broke his 9th rib by falling on his back-never broken any body part since he was a young child. He was told to take pain medication, take deep breaths, & to limit activities that aggravate the affected area. Anything else would you recommend as he is an otherwise healthy 65 yr. old.
