Suggest Treatment For A Muscle Sprain In The Chest
hello I got a collision with the bus rod when I was getting into it on my upper part of my right side of the chest. Initially I thought that I may have hit my ribs but after consulting with my physician he told that it is just a muscle sprain and blood clot. So what is the cure for this.

Hi,
Any muscle injury will take about 3 weeks to heal. In the meantime, take pain killers and avoid putting strain on the chest muscles .Local Heat therapy may also help. Don't forget deep breathing exercises to keep lungs in healthy condition.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thank you.
