my hamster fell off my dresser and her rib cage moved upwards and it was sticking out on the sides of her body, not sticking out of the skin though. Will this heal by its self or need medical care? I saw online it said hamsters breaking bones is very common since they are a rodent. It is the next day since this happened and it seems to have have stopped sticking out as much but i can still feel it near her head.

This definitely needs to be checked out by a vet. This isn't normal, and she is likely in pain from the fall. There are no OTC pain medications you can give, and leaving her in pain would be cruel to her. Please take her into a vet immediately.
