<s>[INST] I fell in the shower, the hospital said cracked rib, very bad bruising internal liver e.t.c. been nearly 2 weeks ,still very bad to cough ,laugh or especially sneeze, how long will this take to heal please? I keep taking a big breath, and not aware of it coming ,is that normal? Thank you . [/INST] Hi thanks for asking question. The healing will take still few weeks as injury seems to be serious according to history given by you. First rule out diabetes by doing random blood sugar. If diabetes present healing might delay. Second do your blood examination also, it may reveal high count suggestive of infection.it also reveals anemia that also delay healing. Malnutrition may delay healing. So Take healthy nutritional diet with vitamin C reach fruit also like orange. Take enough rest and avoid heavy weight lifting. Avoid smoking. If inflammation more at site broken can be taken. Wish you fast recovery with good health </s>
