Brief Answer:
Use antinflamatory drugs such advil and rest and ice.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

The worst thing that could have happened is broken rib which may be causing the pain. An x-ray at the moment can show it.
You should have used ice compresses and rest. Also you should have used antinflamatory drugs such advil or acetaminophen for pain. Also diclofenac gel may be used to reduce pain and inflammation. You still may use antinflamatory drugs such advil. Nothing else should be done.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
