You can treat it conservatively with local warm compress and OTC ibuprofen 200 mg x 3 tablets with some foods (not taking with an empty stomach) every 6-8 hours as needed for a couple days if there is no contraindication (history or active stomach ulcer, kidney disease, uncontrolled hypertension, etc.). Instead of warm compress you can massage locally with bengay or apply salonpas, also sold OTC.
