Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.You can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Rest and analgesic are required. Vitamin B and C is helpful in resolving it. Chest related cause can be excluded by x ray chest. If you have fever also than it will be wise to visit the doctor immediately. Otherwise visiting doctor is always better. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
