A normal rib break is usually but not always accompanied by bruising on the chest. The chest wall however has no changes in shape except for swelling or bruising. Pressing on the outside of the chest at the wound site hurts, and so does inhaling deeply. For a standard break like this, there really isn't anything you can do except to treat for pain. It also takes around 2 weeks to a month to heal -- sometimes more.
If your breathing is actually impeded, if you cough up blood, or if there is a depressed area on the chest at the wound site (like a dent), seek medical help instantly.
