Was kicked in right lower side of ribs 3 days ago. can move slow with tolerable pain, but get very painful spasms. what can i do to speed healing.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ibuprofen : Bruising around the ribs can be very painful. Make sure you did not fracture your ribs. Either way, ibuprofen, ice packs and local creams like Bengay, Theragesic etc will help.
