Be sure to go to the dr to see if you have any internal bleeding. Your dr will prescribe you with medications, or if you do not want to take them take over the counter stuff. Ibuprofen is great to reduce swelling. Get lots of rest. Take a very huge deep breath at least every hour. Make sure you cough. Doing both of these will make sure you don't suffer from pneumonia or partial lung collapse. Place ice over the ribs everyday.
