Ribs hurting and i don’t know if I should keep training

Just started doing traditional kickboxing a couple of months ago and I have been really focused on training. Couple of weeks ago, was sparring with low oz gloves and got a clean hit on my ribs, they started hurting the day after and I did ab workouts and full kickboxing workouts with pain but very bearable. But the pain is constant and isnt going away, i can breathe just fine without pain though so i guess its not the worst injury. I dont know if I should rest or keep training and im worried its going to take too long to heal to a point where I can train again. Any advice on whether i should train? What to do to heal faster?

It just feels terrible to have JUST started and already having to bench myself from exercising, i was just building muscle memory for proper technique and stuff.
