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.

Answer 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.
