Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Sneezing if forceful can cause excessive straining of chest walk muscles.
So muscular injury can occur while forceful sneezing.
So possibility of muscular injury is more in your case.
So apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.
Avoid movements causing pain.
Avoid sudden jerky movements of chest.
Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs like ibuprofen and thiocolchicoside.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 2-3 days.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
