I got punched hard in the liver when i was boxing at the gym. i feel it everytime i breathe right under my ribs and it's deep. how do i recover???

Chest xray: You may have a fractured rib. The liver is protected by ribs. If you take a deep breath and feel the pain then an xray may show a fracture. Youll need rest and can try anti inflammatories. The sooner you rest sooner to heal.
