Since costochondritis is inflammation of the joints, I would suggest an anti-inflammatory pain reliever such as Ibuprofen. Additionally, you can also try applying heat to the area with a the heating pad or such. Don't use the heating pad directly on your skin. And, you may find that gently stretching the pectoral muscules (chest muscles) may help.
