If you're first injured, applying an ice pack for the first 3 days or so can help reducing swelling by numbing pain and constricting blood vessels. After that, applying heat can increase blood flow, which may promote healing. - avoid strenuous or repetitive activities that cause pain.

It is best to see a doctor/physiotherapist immediately if your pain is severe and of sudden onset. Best wishes.
