You can do ice massage or just keep ice pack at your painful area for 5minuts and then keep doing it frequently for some time with giving gap of 10 minutes in between, and then also use hot pack in between to increase blood circulation and soothing effect on soft tissue. It should be fine with this. If not then take some pain killer with anti inflammatory effect. If you find pain is not gone even after a day and its more in intensity then I will suggest to visit doctor and ask him for further treatment. You can also take physiotherapyultrasound to have further relief here. Dont worry it will be fine soon. Take care
