Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Are Ice Wrapping The Body And Intake Of Tylenol Right Treatment For Broken Ribs?
I am seventy years old and fell down six steps two days ago. I broke or fractured a couple ribs in the back on the left side. I have been taking Tylenol and have wrapped my body with an ace wrap to help immobilize my movements. There is a bruise on my back. I have been doing deep breathing off and on and it is not painful to do this. Have I done the right thing?
Thanks for using HCM, I understand your concern and will try to give you my medical advice, I think if you can do deep breathe on and off without pain or any discomfort just keep going, don't forget to be careful about your movements for avoid some complications. I hope that my advice has been helpful and take care
