Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
In case of a rib fracture, adequate pain relief has to be ensured. If despite the medication, NSAIDs, hot tub etc there is inadequate relief then a local inter coastal nerve block should be considered to prevent secondary atelectasis as a complication. The symptoms can include weight gain, lower urinary output, tachycardia and a lower blood pressure.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
