General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It might be due to a condition called costochondritis.
As of now you can take analgesics like Acetaminophen or Diclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist, better to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
