in case u had a fall or hit... get an x-ray chest done .. if it does not shows any fracture... u have possibly strained your intecostal muscles. check for any pain area in case u can pin point any on pressing. if yes.. do contrast treatment... put heat for 5 mins and immediately apply ice for 5 mins( be careful ice also creates burns...so keep checking) on that area..
