How to treat chest pain

Chest bruises are a symptom that has a very serious impact. Because the chest tissue is relatively strong and has a large tissue area, the probability of the chest being hit increases significantly. Once the chest is hit, it will affect the health of the body and the integrity of the image. It will bring many difficulties to people’s lives. Let’s take a look at how to treat chest pain caused by contusion. I hope everyone can understand it.

It may be caused by local soft tissue injury. First of all, you should eat a reasonable diet, pay attention to rest, and receive symptomatic treatment. Local hot compress, massage, supplementation of vitamin C and B, and application of acetaminophen, codeine, ibuprofen, Yunnan Baiyao, etc. to relieve chest pain can usually improve. It is recommended that you go to the surgery department to check the chest X-ray and blood routine to see the specific situation! At the same time, take some anti-inflammatory drugs orally to relieve symptoms.

It is necessary to rule out the possibility of a fracture. It is recommended to go to the thoracic surgery or orthopedics department for a chest CT scan and receive treatment after confirmation. If there is no fracture, you can take some pain-relieving and blood-activating drugs, such as Yingtaiqing, Hongyao tablets and other drugs.

It is recommended to go to the hospital to review the chest X-rays first, mainly to see if the ribs are fractured. If not, it is just a muscle strain, which will be easy to deal with! If it is just a simple muscle strain, there is no good treatment. You need to be careful when moving, avoid strenuous activities, and get enough rest to prevent another strain!

You can apply physical therapy. Some community clinics have such equipment, commonly known as electric baking, which is very helpful for the recovery of muscle strain! No other special treatment is needed! If there is a rib fracture, if the position is good, the fracture can be fixed with a chest strap. The patient should rest in bed for a week and take effective antibiotics and painkillers! As for prevention, there is nothing special. First of all, you can participate in a small amount of strenuous exercise. The most common cause of muscle injury is improper posture during exercise. Exercise more often, especially the chest muscles. You can do some push-ups every day to exercise your chest muscles. The more developed the muscles, the lower the chance of injury! Muscle strains are common and happen to everyone at some point in their lives.
