Answers:
It could be gas trapped in your ribs!. That should go away shortly though!.
Otherwise, you may have pulled an intercostal muscle!. They wrap around your ribs!. I have pulled one (twice), and it hurt to breathe for over 3 weeks!. Sucks!.
If it isn't either of those things, you may have broken a rib or hurt yourself somehow!. Best to tell an adult and get it checked out!. Just in case!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
