What Causes Persistent Right Sided Rib Pain?

I have had right side rib pain to the right and just below my breast for about 2 weeks. Tender to the touch. Does not really hurt much when I move or breathe. Gets worse through the day. Feels like someone punched me there as it is more surface pain. No injuries ,no pulled muscles. Don t know whether to go to fix it tough it out.

* Seems more likely related to costochondritis .

* Primary relief can be with ibuprofen , but
strongly suggested to get a high resolution ultrasound of the local part to
diagnose and manage accordingly .

Hope this clears your query .
