Hi,
Pain just under the rib case is either because of musculoskeletal causes or visceral causes. Since it is associated with spams diagnosis goes more in favour of musculoskeletal causes. Lower ribs is the point for insertion of abdominal muscles and an injury is highly likely.
All you need to do is warm saline fomentation twice or thrice a day, along with preventing any movement that causes pain. You can also take over the counter painkillers for 4-5 days. If these proves to be effective then fine otherwise you need to get a USG abdomen along with a chest X-ray to rule out other causes.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
