Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
If there is pain on sneezing and coughing then there is chance that you may have fracture your rib. If possible for you get a x ray to confirm that. If it is not possible for you to take x ray then i would suggest you to start taking Brufen tablet three times a day. Avoid lying on that side and also apply ice on that side. You can apply Diclofenac ointment . Rib injuries are painful and take time to heal and some time it can be up to one month. But these injuries donot need any plaster or bandage.
