Muscles over my rib cage are sore and swollen, strained, how do i treat this? starts just below breast goes to bottom of ribs and wraps over to flank.

See below: Muscle strain should resolve on it's own if you avoid whatever exercise caused it in the first place. An OTC analgesic can be used as needed.
