Costochondritis is a condition in which ribs are attached to the sternum by a cartilage that get inflammed. It may be due to trauma or viral infection.
It is to be diagnosed mainly on clinical history and examination.
Acetaminophen and cold and warm compression may useful.
If symptoms not improved please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
