Suggest Medication For Chest Pain And Cough Due To An Injury

I'm 24 year old male. 8 days ago I was playing football and got hit by an elbow in the right side of my chest, knocking me to the floor and winding me for a few seconds. Ever since this happened I've been getting chest pain from my right side. It hurts in the same place when I cough, get up after sitting down, and when I lay on my back and breathe out, but not in. Can you help, please?

In my opinion you are suffering from blunt chest trauma. And you may have rib fracture or pulmonary contusion. As in both these situations pain on the injuty site present. So you better get done chest x ray to rule out rib fracture and pulmonary contusion.
