Thank you for asking!
If the symptoms of bloating are after incident only i am sure it is due to trauma and will resolve so will the cough. Hurting on taking deep breaths and coughing is explained by the ribs injury.
Now the bloating can be treated symptomatically meanwhile with prokinetics and soft fibrous diet. But it would be better to have an abdominal ultrasound to sort out any hepatobiliary trauma common after such injuries.
Hope it helps
