I fell a few days ago and landed on my right side. the next day my right rib cage just underneath breast is hurting badly. advil (ibuprofen) helps. shld i see dr?

Continue with Advil (ibuprofen): and start some stretching and strengthening exercises, which should also help. Bruising is a common problem, but if no improvement after a week, then U should see your PCP for evaluation and Xrays etc. Using Ice &/or heat packs would also be helpful.
