The only real treatment for bruised ribs is rest...and time. Don't exert yourself, lift anything heavy or do anything that could hurt your rib area. An over-the-counter pain reliever like Advil can also help. While recoveries vary, most people feel better within 3-6 weeks and are healed within 6 weeks. I hope you feel better soon.
