Hi,
Yes, take her for X-rays, because she might have fractured a rib. Sometimes, rib fractures are not as painful as other type of fractures, but they have this type of pain that will be continuous for a period of time. Incomplete fractures will ache for 3 weeks, while complete fractures can be painful for up to 6 weeks.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
