What Can I Do To Ease The Pain Or Speed Up Healing ?
2 days ago while sparring in boxing I was punched in the stomach and was winded from it. Since then I have been experiencing extreme discomfort/abdominal paint under my right rib, the pain intensifies at night and I can't sleep due to the pain. Theres no brusing but the area right under my rib is all tender. What can I do to ease the pain or speed up healing

Hi,Jason,
Thanks for query.
As you had hard hit in abdomen,there is possibility of having internal injury.
You might have rib fracture.
Go for X ray thorasic ribs and ultrasound to rule out any internal injury.
Ok and bye.
