Suggest Remedy For Pain While Breathing Post Chest Injury

Hey doctor, got hit hard in the chest while playing football with some friends. Hurts to take big breaths and as I refilled one of those 5-gallon water bottles, it hurt to lift that as well. Not necessarily as I was lifting it but after I put it down. I took 600mg of ibuprofen about 20 min ago, any other suggestions?

Thanks for consulting. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.

a simple pain killer itself will be sufficient. ibuprofen is enough. in case the pain still exist take stronger analgesics like diclofenac 50 mg tablet twice a day post lunch . also cold compression at he site can help.

Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.

Have a wonderful time ahead.
