  1. well there really is no treatment for a bruised rib but to let it heal by itself.obviously you cannot put a splint around your torso to immobilize the rib.take a few deep breaths to expand your lungs.it does take time to heal a bruised rib.go see your doctor if the pain worsens or you have difficulty breathing.


  2. Take 800mg of ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, etc) every 4-6 hours for pain and possible swelling. Other than that, ice it down, and take it easy.

  3. put lots of ice on it so it will heal the swelling on it
