Broken (fractured) or bruised ribs are usually caused by a fall or blow to the chest, or occasionally by severe coughing. They can be very painful, but will normally improve within about three to six weeks. If you think you've injured your ribs, you'll often be able to look after yourself at home.
A fractured rib usually takes at least 6 weeks to heal. To help manage the pain while the fracture heals: 1  Put ice on the injured area. 2  Get extra rest. 3  Take pain medicine such as aspirin or ibuprofen. 4  Your doctor may prescribe a stronger pain medicine if over-the-counter medicines don't work.
