Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
You had blunt chest trauma due to car accident.
And this can cause following complications which cause similar symptoms like chest pain on coughing, sneezing and breathlessness.
1. Rib fracture.
2. Pneumothorax
3. Pulmonary contusions
4. Musculoskeletal injury.
So get done chest x ray to rule out all these complications.
If chest x ray is normal than no need to worry much.
You are mostly having musculoskeletal pain. So avoid movements causing pain. Avoid bad postures in sleep. Avoid strenuous exercise. Start painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs. Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
