Rib fractures are generally caused by trauma. A rib fracture can lead to localized pain and symptoms such as restricted breathing and movement. After a rib fracture, it is necessary to choose the appropriate treatment method based on the degree of displacement of the fracture, the number of ribs fractured, and whether there is associated hemothorax or pleural effusion. Treatment options may include rest, wearing a chest brace, and using antibacterial drugs to treat symptoms and prevent infections in the chest or lungs. Additionally, in daily life, excessive bending and flexing activities should be avoided to prevent further injury to the ribs. It is recommended to primarily lie flat. If breathing difficulties occur, it is advised to seek medical treatment at a formal hospital's orthopedics department. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor.)
