Suggest Treatment For Ribs Pain While Lying Down Or Sneezing?

Hi. I am 55 and female. 10 weeks ago I tripped and fell across a work top in the kitchen. It was believed I had broken ribs. The pain was immense and although I am back at work, I am still experiencing discomfort, especially at night, lying down and on sneezing etc. Is this normal?

Hi,

You should get an X-ray of the chest to rule out rib fracture. Till then, you can take skeletal muscle relaxant tablet containing Thiocolchicoside. Please consult a thoracic surgeon and proceed further.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
