Brief Answer:
A soft tissue injury
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The pain she is feeling is due to a soft tissue injury in the area.
For symptomatic relief:
1. Take mild pain killers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
2. Cold compresses to her breast will be useful pain relieving measure. She may apply a local analgesic gel on that area.
In case there is a persistent pain and any visible swelling in the area then stronger prescription pain killers and antibiotics may be needed after a direct examination by your physician to rule out any hematoma formation or a rib fracture.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
