See a doctor: If these symptoms persist beyond a few days, it would be best to see a doctor to determine what could be wrong. If the symptoms get much worse quickly see a doctor asap.

Pain reliever: I would recommend something for inflammation such as Motrin or aleve (naproxen). You should also start to gently stretch the affected muscle.
