Here’s the symptoms of cracked ribs, how to sleep with broken ribs, how to cough with cracked ribs, and many other do’s and don’ts to recover from fractured ribs quickly and fully. Your recovery time from a broken rib can be heavily influenced by what you do… and don’t do. With busted ribs you need to find ways to not only to reduce the pain, but also look after your lungs. Rib damage can cause lung infection, pneumonia and serious issues like pneumothorax, so you need to take precautions. Should you ice broken ribs or put heat on them? Should you take antiinflammatories for rib fracture? Do you need an xray for broken ribs? I cover it all in this quick video.
