Your X ray reports says 1.slight crack seen in left 4th rib. Small undisplaced rib fracture on the right side.
2.coarse bronchovascular marking seen in both lung fields. You might have a condition associateed with inflammation of airways.
3.left costophrenicangle is blunt. Little fluid has accumulated around the left lung.
4.cardio thoracic ratio is also increased The heart size is mildly increased.
You need to take rest and pain relief medications. Please try not to cough by yourself. If you get fever and cough then you should take a short course of antibiotics.
