Hi there I would advise you to go to an orthopedic doctor as soon as possible and he will advice you an x ray to see if your fractured rib is with hairline fracture or fractured segment moved. And it's important that fractured segment is not stabbing any soft organ inside to avoid any complication.
Next Steps
consult orthopedic surgeon
