Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Rib pain may be due to costocondritis or pleuracy or herpes zoster infection early stage or vit D deficiency with multiple rib fractures etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use tablet Tramadol and paracetamol twice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
