A coughing fit cost a woman 4 of her ribs
The South China Morning Post reported that a woman in China had a coughing fit after eating spicy food, and ended up with broken ribs.
The woman in Shanghai, surnamed Huang, had a coughing fit and heard a sharp crackling sound coming out of her chest, but she didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but after a few days she felt pain while breathing and speaking.
After a CT scan, the doctors told her that 4 km of her ribs were broken and that she needed to wrap bandages around her waist for a month while the ribs healed.
The report stated that the doctors told her that the reason for her broken ribs due to the cough resulting from her sharp meal was due to her unhealthily low body weight.
Doctors said that Masri's rib cage is very thin, and that the upper part of her body is particularly thin, as she weighs 57 kg and is about one and a half meters long.
An unnamed doctor told Ms. Huang, “Your ribs can be clearly seen under your skin.
There is no muscle supporting the bones, so it is easy to break your ribs when you cough.”
