Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to a pulled muscle. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms. I also suggest using Voltaren gel for local application. Cold compresses can also be helpful.
Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
