Hello,
It seems to be muscular strain injury. For that, you can take rest and nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drug like ibuprofen. A hot compress can apply for soothing. Avoid movement that causing pain. A chest x-ray is done to rule out any underlying fracture rib if present. Consult a physician for examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
