I don t have much pain but I feel bit of pain when breathing hard or running or any hard exercise. Rest all normal. It hurts on touching also. Could it be serious? ?

According to history it seems to be post traumatic muscular strain injury ..
For that ibuprofen or Naproxen like anti-inflammatory drug prescribed for five days
Avoid strenous activity
Take rest
Avoid movement that causing pain
Take proper sleep posture while sleeping
Warm compress useful
If condition worsen than x ray and further needed work up done
Take care
Consult physician or pulmonologoist for examination
