Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to a muscle strain.
I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms.
I also suggest using anti-inflammatory cream for local application such as Voltaren cream.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
