Hi dear!

Thanks for consulting the Physicians at HealthCare Magic. I have worked through your case thoroughly, and I can easily realize your health worries. Being your physician, I reassure you not to worry as things will settle down very soon.
It seems muscular spasm. I usually recommend Voltran Gel to apply for the pain. Tablet Ibuprofen800mg twice daily for pain. Tablet Nuberol Forte twice daily for 5days. Heat padding the area in pain.
If it doesn't get better in a week then go to a Pulmonologist !!!
May you get very well soon and have a wonderful time ahead. Please don't forget to give your valuable feedback to help us assist you in a better way. Click at 'I Find This Answer Helpful' & give a five Stars too. Write a review about your experience with me.
