I feel pain in my chest when moving. When I consulted a doctor, he told me I am suffering from costochondritis and prescribed Naprosyn 500 Tablet and warm compresses for inflammation. What is the appropriate treatment for costochondritis?
The treatment for costochondritis usually includes taking anti-inflammatory medicines like Naproxen or Ibuprofen as prescribed, applying warm compresses to reduce inflammation, avoiding movements that trigger pain, and practising gentle stretching and posture correction. Most cases often improve within a few weeks, but if the pain persists or worsens, please follow up with your doctor.
