Sore Chest After An Accident. Not Responding To Panadol. Need To See A Doctor?
It has been 8 days since I was in a car accident and my chest is still sore, when I wake up in the morning it hurts just under my ribs then during the day it hurts in the middle on my chest I between my breast . It gets worst then goes away for awhile then comes back for about 10-20 mins, I have gone to the doctor and he told me to take panadol but this is not helping, it feels like stabbing achy pain and it really hurts, i am only 17 and don t know if I should go see the doctor again or what.

Hi,
As 8 days passed and still you are having chest pain, there is likely of having fracture of one or more ribs.
Go for x-ray chest to rule of fracture.
consult orthopedic surgeon get examined.
Mean while take NSAID pain killer as and when required.
Ok and take care.
