Suggest Timeline For Healing From A Chest Wall Contusion

I got into a car accident 2wks ago and was diagnosed with chest wall contusion. Well, I have been doing my breathing exercises but still having chest pains every now and then and its hard to breathe but I do have asthma... So, my question is how long does it take for a chest wall contusion to heal and should I be worried do I need to go to a doctor?

Respected user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.
* There are no absolute timeline for healing from chest wall contusion.
* It depends on multiple factors as - size , depth of contusion - presence of
infection - comorbid conditions as diabetes / other related issues - local
care in form of cleanliness - general healing factors of patient - many
more .
* In a nutshell small , minor contusions heal within days but if major +/-
with infection or other conditions may take longer period .
Hope this clears your query.
Welcome for any further assistance better with photograph of it.
