How to recover quickly from a sprained rib

As the saying goes, a broken bone requires at least a hundred days of rest, which shows that bone injuries are very serious to the human body. Accidents often happen in our daily lives, and sometimes they may lead to bone fractures, sprains, etc. How can we recover quickly if we sprain our ribs? The following will give you a detailed explanation of what you should pay attention to in terms of diet and rest for bone injuries.

1. Overview

My brother accidentally fell from the third floor while working at a construction company at the beginning of this year. He was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment and saved his life. He stayed in the hospital for more than two months before he recovered, but he still couldn't get out of bed and walk. His rib fractures were very serious, and now even the most basic turning over has become very difficult. My sister-in-law has been taking care of him by his side. Every day, she makes some calcium-supplementing foods for my brother or eats some big bones so that he can recover faster. It's really distressing to see my brother like this. I want to know what to eat if you have broken ribs to help your body recover.

2. Steps/Methods:

1. Patients with rib fractures can eat some light food and fresh vegetables in the early stages, such as soy products, fish soup, etc., which are easier to chew and swallow. About two weeks after the rib fracture, you can add more nutritious foods and eat more high-nutrition substances, such as ribs, bone soup, etc.

2. Rib fractures are usually caused by violence. You may experience local pain and constant coughing at first. If the patient does strenuous exercise, he will feel obvious discomfort and the pain will be significantly aggravated. When the patient coughs, it will be very painful and may even affect the patient's breathing.

3. The fracture site of the rib fracture patient will heal on its own within two to four weeks after treatment. The patient should try to rest in bed and avoid doing too much exercise. During the healing period, he should eat more nutritious foods, which can effectively help the patient recover as soon as possible. The patient should listen to the doctor's advice and strive for a speedy recovery.

3. Notes:

Patients with rib fractures should not eat spicy food or do excessive exercise, otherwise their condition may worsen. Patients should pay more attention to rest, especially the elderly.
