Hi,
DIAGNOSIS: INTERCOSTAL MUSCLE SPASM
TREATMENT:
1) T.myoril 8 mg 1-0-1 for about 1 week
2) Dicloran gel for local application
3) Hot water fomentation ( about 3 times a day )
This wil take care of your problem.U do not have to worry.It takes about 2 weeks to settle down ( intercostal muscle takes more tme unlike other muscles since giving complete rest to it is not possible , since they are involved in breathing.)
