Some things to try: First, get checked again to be sure that's really all it is. Once someone gets costochondrtis, it does tend to recur. Treat costochondritis with ice and anti-inflammatories. I'd also try massage and acupuncture. Consider seeing a chiropractor or osteopath who does manipulation. There are some anti-inflammatory herbs that could be helpful, turmeric is probably the best know of these.
