You need to take 4 Ibuprofen and the adult strength tylenol. Dont worry you cant overdose on them together. Alternate between Tylenol every 4 to six hours and the same with the tylenol every eight hours.
You also need to rest it and do 20 min of ice and 20 min of heat.
it will ease up and should go away within a couple days.
Absolutely my advice. A similar thing happened to me a couple months ago. It's not worth it to go to the ER since that's pretty much what they'll tell you but first they'll take x-rays that will cost hundreds of dollars. If it doesn't go away in a couple days, then I would see a doctor.

Feel better soon!!!
