Hi
First of all get ecg and chest xray pa view to rule out any heart problem and fracture of ribs.
If you have fever do complete blood test to rule out plural pain.
You can tie rib belt apply ice over site of pain and take pain killers with antacid....this will help you if you have fracture of ribs. And there will be mild pain until the fracture heals.
If some heart problem or pleural problem detected plz consult physician.
Get well soon.
Thank you.
