I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. When untreated, rib fractures will lead to serious short-term consequences such as severe pain when breathing, pneumonia and, rarely, death. Long-term consequences include chest wall deformity, chronic pain and decreased lung function. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

Yes as u r already surviving. U have not mentioned whether u r facing any problem. In case of fracture of rib, u can not plaster. So it heals on its own. So if still in doubt do an X-ray of chest (PA and lateral view).
