Suggest Remedies For Soreness On The Ribcage Post Injury
Hello, last night I was playing soccer and someone elbowed me in the rib cage. I hardly noticed until this morning when it was very sore. As the day has gone on I keep grabbing the same spot and it feels like there is some type of liquid there or something. I am not having any troubles breathing or anything but it does hurt, and I m wondering if i should do anything about it?

Hello,
I think it can be swelling and bruising as a result of trauma. You can use ice compresses over it, also you can use anti-inflammatory drugs such as advil or naproxen for pain and swelling.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
