Recovery tips for rib injury!

Got brutally kicked and body-punched on my left ribs during hard sparring with a pro. There’s a small red patch, and it doesn’t feel broken, but I get pain when I breathe deep or bend.

What’s the best way to recover from this?

Is it okay to keep sparring tomorrow, or should I take a break?

And roughly how long does rib soreness like this usually take to heal?

Thanks in advance, really appreciate the guidance!
