Hi,
Thanks for contacting. Apply hot pack twice a day, and while coughing, sneezing brace up the place where it hurts, avoid any re-injury and don't lift anything heavy. And avoid overhead activities.
Hope you will find the answer useful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harsh Swarup
