Pain: You may have a muscular strain. Try local heat and an anti inflammatory. Good Luck

See a doctor: if the pain continues, it may be more than a muscle strain. If local heat and ibuprofen don't help or if you have labored or difficulty breathing or develop a fever or prolonged cough, you should be examined by your doctor to be sure it is not something more serious, such as an infection or other lung problem.
