Rib pain: Acute onset of rib pain without a history of trauma is not problematic unless it doesn't resolve within few days,. Try heat/ice contrast. Rest, NSAIDs. Rib belt. Many times it will resolve if not get seen

Several things: Problems like these can only be correctly handled by your doctor in person. If your symptoms don't resolve, see what your family doctor thinks.
