Chest wall contusion: If you were punched from the front and feel painful when you press over the area with your fingers, most likely you have suffered a chest wall contusion. You are expected to feel better in a week. If you feel pain with cough, or compression from both sides, you may need to check with your doctor to rule out rib fracture.
