What will help the pain? my girlfriend has cracked ribs, what can she do to help the pain besides taking tylonal or putting it on ice?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depending : Depending on the number of cracked ribs, she may need oral narcotics or nerve blocks. At any rate, make sure she does not use a belt or a corset which would put her at risk for pneumonia.
