hi,
pain in the ribs can be due to muscle weakness or any respiratory issues. if you have not had any respiratory issues then pain shouldn't prolong. try doing breathing exercises like deep breathing and costal breathing exercises while placing a towel wrap over the painful area. By doing this the muscles will become stronger and the pain will come down. if you had any past hairline fracture of the ribs then you should mention it. IF AFTER PERFOMING EXERCISES STILL THE PAIN PERSISTS KINDLY GET AND X RAY DONE.
THANK YOU
