Will the ribs hurt? Is it broken?

I am a doctor. You often see this situation, usually soft tissue injury, but you can't rule out the possibility of fracture. It's best to take a chest X-ray in the hospital in a positive lateral position or a left front [right front] oblique position. Fracture can be manifested, even without fracture, it can also cause pleural edema when coughing or inhaling. This usually lasts for three to four weeks.
