hi,

as you mentioned you have pain in the right side of the chest. almost close to the 5th intercostal space this may be due to muscular spasm.

for this I will recommend you to perform regular breathing exercises. Costal breathing exercise are the one to be performed and can be learnt by the help of a phsyical therapist. Breathing exercises will help the intercostal muscles to become stronger and avoid weakness and pain.

Also the lung capacity and volumes will be raised and help you have more blood oxygen saturation.

Also perform some back strengthening exercises as it will help you reduce the back pain.

with the grace of God I wish you a speedy recovery

regards
