Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Your boyfriend met with road side accident.
So possibility of muscular and skeletal injury is more likely.
For chest pain, we should rule out rib fractures and pneumothorax.
So better to take him to hospital and get done chest x ray and x rays of both upper limbs and lower limbs.
If there is no fracture then he will be alright with painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs like ibuprofen and thiocolchicoside.
Don't worry, he will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your boyfriend. Thanks.
