Symptoms of Cracked Ribs. Common symptom of cracked ribs is a severe chest pain. The pain worsens with deep breathing, coughing, laughing and moving. This pain should not be ignored because it may indicate perforation of the lungs which is a dangerous condition and requires immediate treatment.
Rib fractures which are painful make it difficult to breathe deeply or cough properly. This can make it difficult to clear mucus in the chest, leading to chest infections. Good pain relief helps to prevent chest infections. Even with good painkillers, some people may develop a chest infection following a rib injury.
