Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It can be a rib fracture, most probably some minor contusion. Get an X-ray chest to look for any rib fracture. As of now, take analgesics like Paracetamol for pain relief.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks.
