Hi

Is the pain disturbing your sleep?

Do you have a cough or a spit?

Are you a smoker?

Hi

Given your age and based upon what you have told me it is most likely to be muscular pain that you have.

I suggest you take ibuprofen 600mg three times per day plus acetominophen 1gram four times per day.

I would do this for one week.

If at the end of that week you felt you were no better off I'd advise you to see your Dr.

Hope this helps.
