go to a doctor for an x-ray
possible rib fracture If you take a deep breath and there is pain at the site the an x-ray is required
infection cannot be ruled out but it requires a source for the infection and unless the skin was broken I would leave that as a last choice
SOURCE: I have a pain on my left hand side just underneath my ribcage which intensifies when I get up
There are several possible causes for this. You have to ask the doctor who will take account of your age, recent activity, diet, etc. The doc may order tests.
It may be a simple muscle strain or gastritis, but for peace of mind ask the medico.

SOURCE: I love walking and go with my friend three times a week. How do you prevent knee pain?
I had knee pain [while walking] that was diagnosed as Pes Anserine Bursitis - in researching the internet I came across a most interesting Google Vlog that has helped me immensely! http://pesanserinebursa.blogspot.com/
