Hi Yesterday morning at 3 am I fell into a bench right on my ribs. It was a hard hard fall. Urgent care determined that morning in an X-ray my ribs were?t broken. Today I am still struggling to breathe it?s very painful. As of this evening I am coughing up phlegm that has a metallic taste like blood. Breathing and talking are becoming more and more painful. Concerned about a pulmonary contusion that could be causing bleeding into the lungs. The coughing isn?t problematic it?s only happened a few times within the hour. The pain is severe. Should I go to the ER?

Pain is common due to hard fall injury, it's common to have pain during respiration, you need homoeopathic treatment for this purpose, as soon as possible take homoeopathic medicine, you can also contact me through Lybrate in private consultation where I can prescribe medicine name.
