Brief Answer:
Ibuprofen
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
You mentioned you have started jogging last week. recently started exercises can cause body and leg pains like muscle pain (Since you are doing jogging). It will go off slowly once your body gets habit to it.
I suggest you Ibuprofen 400 mg for pain. Use it sparingly.
Hot water fomentation will help you.
Do not jog continuously take break for 1-2 minutes in between jogging.
Do you get pain in joints like knee joint?
If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.
Thank you.
