Question

Critical Thinking: A broken rib can be a

very painful injury. Doctors can treat the pain
with medication, but there are no treatments to
make the rib heal faster. Why do you think this
is the case?

Answer 1

To heal a broken rib you can take painkillers suck as ibuprofen but avoid taking it 48 after your injury. You can also hold an ice pack on your injury for the first few days to slow down the swelling. Take days off and rest if you need to.
