You may be experiencing costochondritis, which is inflammation of the cartilage that connects a rib to the breastbone. To help alleviate the pain, you can take over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen (Advil) or naproxen (Aleve) as directed on the package. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area may provide some relief. Make sure to rest and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
