As per pm Smelly - keep a firm cushion/pillow close by - if you need to sneeze or cough hug it close to your chest beforehand!
You can thank me later -

Good man - my friend advises that apparently the pain eases in direct proportion to the amount of brandy consumed….Have done and it helps thank you.

Speak to 111, hopefully they will prescribe naproxen over the phone for you

I took naproxen once....never again!
Did you take a second tablet at the same time for the stomach? Can't remember what it was called.

Naproxen worked well for my broken ribs. Just ask for Omeprazole too and have a natural yoghurt/ Actimel or other gut health yogurty thing. Codeine side effects far outweighed the benefits. I’ll never get that morning back. What Ive found to aid healing with broken ribs is avoid anything that will make you sneeze or laugh
Man up smelly, it's only one, you've got several others.(I know that pain well).Oh poop, weld test wednesday and I'm off work with this broken rib.
I'm gonna be eating paracetamol like smarties.
Any suggestions for home treatments and rib cage contusions?
Keep smiling my friend but don't laugh. Rest.is the answer.

Sympathies.
I previous life I had to fly twice a week for six weeks with two bust ribs. Doc said I could have done myself a serious one but it was work or go under. More painful taking off than landing , vitamin “I” and big gin helped.
Shame you cant take vitamin “I” its the only this that keeps me going. But always taken with food.
Good luck , it will pass.

Make sure you keep up with the deep breathing exercises.....I've seen too many people with fractured/broken ribs end up with Pneumonia as they avoided deep breathing and ensured the nasty bugs that can thrive in your lungs could multiply....
Regular paracetamol will help - don't wait until the pain comes on, codeine did nothing for me, but can...err...bung you up.... Brufen is OK, but avoid if you have asthma, diclofenac can work well with some people, but as above , I would avoid Naproxen.
It will get better, but can take weeks to settle down sadly!
