Mild pain medication: Costochondritis usually goes away on its own, although in some cases it may last for several months or longer. Treatment focuses on pain relief. Use medications such as Ibuprofen (advil, motrin, others) and Naproxen (aleve) — can be purchased over-the-counter, stronger varieties are available by prescription.
