How long do symptoms of costochondritis last? been taking aleve (naproxen) for a few days and it isn't helping much.

2 weeks: I advise patients to treat their symptoms for 2 weeks with anti-inflammatories and to follow up if symptoms are not better in 2 weeks.

Dr diagnosed costochondritis, but worry if misdiagnosed. I get random spurts of pain that go away and come back to same 5 spots. Naproxen 500 no help?
I had costochondritis following a dry cough (cough treated by antibiotics) which started to feel like it was going away with Naproxen but now I have a viral pleghm cough from a cold. Can the costochondritis come back from coughing again?
Any advice for costocondritus? Being woken up with stabbing pains, I'm so tender, naproxen isn't doing much. Even wearing a bra is agony
