I got hit on my right side of my rib cage two weeks ago. I only put anti-inflammatory cream. No doubt the pain decreased but still some pain & wrong feeling on the low right rib area. Should I wonder?

when you have been hit before 2 weeks had you go to hospital or done certain images depending on the situation ,the image would give the answer to your question if there is a certain damage to the internal organs or rib injury such as fracture, it might be but less likely since you tolerate the pain since 2 weeks the pain must be worse if there is fracture or internal damage and there will be other symptoms other than pain such as faint or nausea vomit ...
second if the pain is not that much and it is decreasing ,less than before NO WORRIES then nothing to be worried usually this kind of injury take time to heal completely .,you can take over the counter pain killers such as ibuprofen or ketoprofen for mild pain or paracetamol
Lastly if the pain persist you MUst see your doctor
