Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to the fall and the trauma.
I suggest using cold compresses for local application at the bruised area.
I also recommend to use anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
If the symptoms continue ,I suggest to do a chest xray to exclude a rib fracture.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
