Suggest Treatment For Bruise Ribs
Hi I fractured 2 ribs and bruised my right upper abdomen 2 weeks ago after a fall. In the past 2 days I have been burping constantly with increased pain under my right upper ribs. Could this be related to my fracture, or is it more likely to be gastrointestinal?

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to gastroesophageal reflux disease. I suggest using antacids such as Maalox three times a day. Meanwhile, in case of pain I suggest using Acetaminophen three times a day. I also suggest ti use cold compresses for local application.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
