Hello!

The pills are to decrease your pain and inflammation.

For non displaced clavicle fracture you would only need  sling bandage for couple of weeks and there would be complete healing. You have to start active physiotherapy after couple of weeks.

I would suggest you to go for a present day X-ray scan and if there is any complication in your healing then you would need to follow up with an orthopedician.

Take care!
