Should I Be Worried About Pain In The Back Due To Injury?
my son made a tackle in football today and came down on another player s cleat, landing on his right side towards the back of his torso. He is having pain (it feels like someone punched or kicked him there) and I am wondering if it could be a bruised rib or something more serious that we need to check out.

Hi,
It could be a simple contusion. As of now you can use analgesics/anti inflammatory combination like Aceclofenac/Seratiopeptdase for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and get an MRI done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
