Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your symptoms seem to be related to a ribbon injury. I suggest you to take anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day. The rib injury usually heals on its own for 4 to 6 weeks.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
