Costochondritis is a common disease that will cause patients some discomfort and pain in daily life. Patients can usually do some exercises within their own capabilities, which will also be very helpful for this disease. Patients with this symptom generally react more strongly and experience severe pain in the costal cartilage. In addition, patients with costochondritis should also pay attention to the following aspects:

1. They will feel chest pain at the beginning, and soon the affected cartilage will become swollen and bulging, accompanied by tenderness. The pain intensifies when you take a deep breath, cough, and move the affected upper limb, and sometimes radiates to the shoulder or back.

2. When working, pay attention to raising awareness of protection, do not lift heavy objects, do not use excessive force when doing other things, and beware of damage to sternocostal cartilage and ligaments. Pay attention to the balance between work and rest, and don't be too tired. Open windows frequently to ventilate, keep indoor air fresh, and participate in more physical activities to enhance your own resistance. Always keep warm to prevent cold. People who often catch colds should get vaccinated if necessary. Clothes should be soft, dry and avoid moisture. When lifting heavy objects, pay attention to the body being sprained by the force. Doing some lower-intensity exercises is also very helpful to the body.

3. In your daily diet, pay attention to eating light foods, and avoid eating irritating foods, which will cause great harm to the body. Pay attention to raising awareness of protection. It is best not to carry heavy objects, pay attention to the combination of work and leisure, do not overwork, and keep warm at ordinary times to prevent catching cold. You can go to the hospital's plastic surgery department for symptomatic treatment, and take painkillers, which can be strengthened by anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs. Eat leeks, oranges, dog meat, red beans and other foods. These foods can help relax tendons, clear collaterals, and relieve pain.

4. The environment in which patients with costochondritis usually live must have good air circulation so that they can breathe fresh air at any time, which will greatly help the recovery of the condition. Always keep warm to prevent cold. Do not take off your clothes immediately when your body is sweating to avoid catching cold from the wind. Clothes should be soft, dry and avoid moisture. Pay attention to the balance between work and rest, and don't overwork yourself.
