Hi,
It can be due to muscular pain or something called costochondritis.
You can take analgesics like Ibuprofen or Diclofenac for pain relief.
Generally, it will settle in a couple of weeks and if symptoms persist for long, you can consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
