Blowing nose & heard a pop/crack noise from rib area. now have severe sharp pain when moving, breathing, coughing, etc. do u think it may be fractured?

Maybe: But not that likely at your age / a good old muscle strain can be pretty painful for awhile either way it should be self limiting although may take several weeks to clear.
