Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to a muscle strain.

I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms.

I also suggest using anti-inflammatory cream for local application such as Voltaren cream.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi, General &Family Physician
