Could Severe Pain In Ribs Post Coughing Spells Be Fractured Rib?
On the evening of March 23 I had a coughing spell and when it was over, I felt something on my right side either dislodge or crack and it hurt very bad. I went to the chiropractor the following day and he didn t think it was cracked, he thought maybe the rib and the cartlige separated and told me I could use heat on this kind of injury. My cough as subsided for the most part, but my rib pain is still very much affecting me. How do you deal with a fractured rib so that you can actually sleep at night?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, this is not the fracture of rib but could be allergic cough, some time this may not need any treatment, if the symptoms persist then this can be well managed with, "Tab Loratadine with Pseudoephedrine" three times in day, this is nothing to worry, hope this information help, take care.
