Because this was his first go-around with mosquito bites, he didnât understand that he couldnât itch them which, obviously, made the situation worse. I tried to make every natural remedy out there to help relieve his bites but at that point, the only thing he would let me put on him for relief was fresh aloe leaf. Yes, I tried the banana peel thing. I also tried the baking soda paste, the apple cider vinegar and honey remedy. None worked.
The treatment for rib cage pain primarily depends on the cause of the pain. Rest and immobilization are the best cures that are available for ribcage pain. If the pain is the result of a minor injury like a pulled muscle or so, then a cold compress will be just enough to provide the required comfort.
1. Put ice over the fractured rib. Apply an ice pack, frozen gel pack or bag of peas from the freezer onto your rib injury for about 20 minutes every hour you are awake for the first 2 days, then reduce it to 10-20 minutes 3x daily as needed to reduce pain and swelling. compression wrap may be needed short-term (a few days) for stabilization and pain / inflammation control, but the restricted breathing caused by the wrapping is not good for your condition if done long-term (a few weeks or more). 1  Do not attempt to bandage or wrap your broken ribs at home.
