Hello,
You are having a muscle strain problem and so it is musculoskeletal pain. For that, you need to prescribed anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen for five days.
Local part X-ray is also advisable to look for any fracture if present. Avoid strenuous activities and take rest.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
