Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of bronchitis is very less as you are not having cough and breathing difficulty.
Possibility of simple musculoskeletal pain due to viral infection is more likely because your pain is associated with movements (forward bending).
So take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen.
Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest and neck.
Avoid movements causing pain.
Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 7 days.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
