You might be presenting with costochondritis,an inflammation of the area between the ribs and the cartilage.It’s often triggered by viral respiratory infections, trauma and, even a tight seat belt. It may last up to a year. A warm pad, light massage and time may help.Usually goes away by itself. If you cough with thick sputum or blood,have fever,or shortness of breath,or fainting,go to the Doctor.
