What Can I Do To Lesser My Sore Rib?

I tripped and fell on an arm of a bamboo chair in my den and as a result I hit my midriff on the right. I now have a sore rib which is tender to touch and a little uncomfortable It is towards my back area and sensitive if I take a really deep breath. Otherwise it is just sore. Will warm showers help? It happened about a half hour ago. Suggestion?
