Stop the push ups and rest. Ice it for 20 min and heat for about an hour. The ice shrinks the veins and tendons making it less swollen and the heat opens up the veins and tendons allowing more blood to run through (ice prevents too much blood from flowing) so it can heal. but you need a little bit of both, ice, so the swelling will go down and heat so blood runs through. i would also suggest Arnica Montana, a homeopathic medicine that eases muscle soreness, bruises and swelling. I would take it orally and get the gel kind so you can massage your arm with it. I would also take it easy in class and rehearsal so you dont further injure yourself.

well their sore because the muscles have ripped and now there healing and that gives you more muscle so in the end its actually good so if you want the pain to go away dont do any more pushups or if you want more muscle just keep doing them while there sore and you'll get stronger

rest it, ice it until the swelling goes down then take a hot bath to relax the muscles

Sleep. Have your arms flat and relaxed somewhere.
