Hi welcome to the health care magic
According to history it could be costochondritis like muscular strain problem
You might prescribed ibuprofen anti-inflammatory drug for five days for that
Avoid strenuous work and take rest
Warm compress can be beneficial...
Avoid movement causing pain
Avoid bad sleep posture while sleeping
Viral bronchitis can lead such problem, hence if you are not improving than investigate with x ray and CBC like further work up
Take care
Consult physician or pulmonologoist for examination
