Hello,
As this will be a muscular injury and pain is raised due to it. I will advise you to do simple breathing exercises and do hot water fermentation over the painful muscular area. This should help reduce the pain and also reduce the worry.
Deploying of the airbags can lead to some stress over the rib cage and usually, this takes about 5-7 days of time for the pain to come down.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
