See Your Doctor

See your doctor to ensure nothing more serious is going on. Occasionally, costochondritis will be treated beside cortisone injections, but this must be discussed with your doctor.
Costochondritis usually go away on its own. The pain usually last a Month or two and then resolves.
To assuage your pain until it fade, your doctor may recommend:
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) and naproxen (Aleve).
Antidepressants, specifically a category of medicines call tricyclic antidepressants, if pain is making it difficult to sleep at hours of darkness.

See a polish therapist as soon as possible to relieve the misery.
