lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. I have gone through the details given, but the information is too general. It is difficult to know what is the problem as only pain in rib cage is mentioned. Which part, what is the intensity, frequency, whether there is any cough, or problem with breathing etc, Plus there is no mention of blood glucose levels, HbA1c%, medication for diabetes and any other related problems. Unless these things are known it is difficult to suggest any medication. Further in this communication we are supposed to give only general guidelines, no prescriptions are allowed. She may need in some pain killers and there may be a need for some investigations to find out the cause. Thanks.

In most cases, you can take care of broken or bruised ribs at home. While your injury heals, pain relief is very important, as it will hurt every time you breathe in or cough. Taking shallow breaths and not coughing to avoid pain will only put you at risk of a chest infection. You can look after yourself by: -regularly taking over-the-counter painkillers, such as paracetamol -holding an ice pack to your chest regularly during the first few days to reduce the pain and swelling -resting periodically – take time off work if you need to, especially if your work involves physical labour or the pain is severe -keeping mobile between rest periods – walking around and moving your shoulders occasionally can help with your breathing and help clear any mucus from your lungs -holding a pillow against your chest if you need to cough -carrying out breathing exercises – take 10 slow, deep breaths every hour, letting your lungs inflate fully each time, to help keep your lungs clear Don't wrap a bandage tightly around your chest, as this will stop your lungs expanding properly. Try to avoid lying down or staying still for long periods. It may help to sleep more upright for the first few nights. Avoid straining and lifting heavy objects until you're feeling better, as you may injure yourself further and take longer to recover. If you smoke, stopping may also help your recovery. See a Doctor if your pain hasn't started to improve within a few weeks. Best wishes

Sometimes even minor rib fractures and soft tissue tears result with coughs and sneezes. Allergy should be treated adequately. Brochodilators and antihistaminics should be taken after consultation with your chest physician.

There is sterno costal joint where a rib joins sternum. There could be arthritis of the joint. Arthritis presents normal x ray, normal ecg. Test to determine arthritis is check for tenderness. Press the joint with single finger. If it pains with medium pressure, it's arthritis. Another test is to take aspirin 2 tabs of 500 g three times a day for 3 days after food and with ranitidine, pain disappears. See an orthopedic doctor for full treatment.
