thanks for posting your query to hcm .
as I understand it could be because of trauma to ribs, any pathology in ribs , due to pleural pathology,infection etc. we require a radiological examination CT scan of chest to find out the cause of it . then only we will be able to treat it correctly. Presently you can take pain relieving medication like aceclophenac or diclophenac.
review me with ct scan report so that I can suggest you further managment.
I find this answer helpful
