Hello
Welcome to health care magic.
It is quite possible that you must have got rib crack on right side.
You need to do chest XRAY and consult orthopaedician.
Adequate bed rest,warm compresses locally and immobilizing the part in splint is what all required.
Analgesics like tab ibuprufen twice a day for 5 days with antacids will help in pain relief.
Hope this information helps.
Wish you good health.
