What is the treatment for a chest sprain (that's what i think it is)?

there's this pain on the left side of my chest that i got during a hard swim practice. is comes every time i breathe really big, cough, sneeze, laugh, and twist to the sides. adults have told me that is probably a ligament injury or tear. i need to know how long it will take to heal! anybody with any knowledge on this?
Answer:
If the pain is about 2 inches above the medial epichondial (the elbow) then it is quite possibly a diaphragm pull, I've seen it in distance runners and swimmers, this most usually subsides in 5-7 days if your careful not to further injure it during healing, this means take it easy but don't stop practicing unless it continues or gets worse.
