Yes, you should see a doctor for the following reasons:

To make sure you don't have a hairline fracture. A broken rib can puncture a lung sometimes.

To get pain relief. Injured ribs can be very painful, and a doctor can help you with pain management.

A doctor can more accurately answer your questions, including this one.

Mine took a good three weeks - well, it wasn't that good.
