As you have many bruises all over chest and abdomen, it will take time for pain to decrease. In the meantime, do cold compression of bruised areas will give some relief. It is to be done for 10-20 min at a time for 3-4 times a day. Rest is important. After application of cold for 2-3 days, you can apply warm compression to relieve pain.
Tab. Ibuprofen can be taken twice daily for pain relief for 4-5 days. To prevent gastric irritation, tab. Pantop to be taken once daily on empty stomach. If your pain persists even after 7-10 days, you may consult a physician for further evaluation.
