Suggest Treatment For Indigestion Along With Pain In Left Rib

Hi, I injured the upper ribs on my left side when fell hard. Now, a few days later, I have pain, which I expected, but also a little gurgling feeling when taking a deep breath, coughing with phlegm that s not normal for me and a bit of indigestion. I am also very tired. Is it possible I may have bruised my lung or something? Otherwise in good health.

I don't think on a lung bruising, but only on a skin bruising (associated with local nerves and muscles damage) and so with pain and its near and far impact in your body, so some painkillers (under measure of course) would be the best and of course a bit of patience. Anywhere a thoracal x ray would be a good confort examination of yours to exclude the complications you doubt.
