Thanks for your question o HCM. Rib fracture causes pleural breach and pulmonary contusion on lungs. So due to this inflammation is present in that part of lung which gives you phlegm and chest pain on coughing. Better to start anti inflammatory and broad spectrum antibiotic to prevent infection. Also wear chest belt for minimal mobilization and thus rapid healing of fractured ribs. Avoid heavy weight lifting and strenuous exercise.
