Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant , allopurinol , anti inflammatory along with vitamin supplement like omega-3 fatty acid and physical therapy .For now take proper rest , apply warm compresses and drink plenty of water . You can have ginger tea thrice a day , it will heal in relieving joint pain and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain .
