Chest Pain caused by a punch

2017-12-03 19:52:32
I got punched to the rib in a fight. It hurts real bad when i laugh,breathe deeply or cough. I thought it was a broken rib but it doesn't hurt on touch nor does it hurt when i move my torso. It hurts for 4 days and it shows no signs of improving, i think it actually gets worse. Could it be a serious problem? Should i visit a doctor?
