A broken rib needs to rest for a few days

Rib fractures require rest time varies from person to person, generally takes 4 to 6 weeks or longer.

If it is a simple rib fracture, there is no obvious displacement, recovery time is relatively short. But if multiple rib fractures, accompanied by severe displacement or other complications, recovery time is longer. Proper fixation can create a stable environment for fracture healing and help speed up recovery. Rehabilitation exercise can enhance respiratory function and chest muscle strength and promote recovery, but it needs to be done at the right time. Too early or inappropriate exercise may be counterproductive.
