I'm sorry to hear that you were in an accident and are experiencing pain in your ribs. It's important to seek medical attention as soon as possible to ensure that there are no serious injuries. Pain in the ribs can be caused by fractures or bruising, and these injuries can worsen if left untreated.
In the meantime, you can try some at-home remedies to manage the pain. Applying an ice pack to the affected area for 15-20 minutes at a time, several times a day, can help reduce inflammation and numb the area. You can also take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen as directed on the package. It's important to avoid strenuous activities or movements that aggravate the pain until you have been evaluated by a medical professional.
Please keep in mind that these remedies are not a substitute for medical treatment, and it's important to follow up with a healthcare provider as soon as possible. They can determine the extent of your injuries and recommend a course of treatment to promote healing and manage pain.
