Hello,
It may be due to rib fracture.
For further assessment you may require chest x ray, pulmonary function test after chest physician consultation.
For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen.
Further treatment mainly depends upon the underlying condition.
Continue breathing exercises.
Hope I have answered your query...
Let me know if I can assist you further.
