It is best to take an antiinflammatory, ie ibuprofen or naprosyn, though if you have GI issues you are limited to paracetamol.
Apply heat and take hot baths to sooth the area. And use a pillow to hold over the area to splint it when coughing.

rib fractures take a LONG time to feel better. there is a nerve that runs along the inside of each rib which hurts like h*ll when injured. try keeping rib cage tightly wrapped to restrict movement.
