Hi
Thanks for your query

I'm Dr Sudhir Kumar

I have gone through your query and understand your concern. You need to get your x ray chest Ap,lateral and oblique view to see for rib fractures and lung disease. You can take rest and analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Vitamin B and C help in recovery.

You can discuss with your doctor about it.

Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
