Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.
To be on safe side you need to undergo following investigations -
USG abdomen - to detect any internal bleeding
X-rat chest&abdomen - to detect fracture of any rib
I advice consult surgeon as early as possible.
For symptomatic pain relief you can ibuprofen or diclofenac.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Hiren
