ice it, get it massaged, rest it and rebuild it very gradually. The length of time it takes to heal will depend on a lot of factors, age and general health, genetics, rest/sleep quality, nutrition.
Let it rest for one week longer than you think it needs (let it feel better for a week extra).
Be sure to do a general warm-up (5 minutes on a cardio machine) and then stretch it gently in-between sets.
After your workout, stretch it and ice it. Work it once a week for a while.

Building muscle and might builds strong minds and character. Respect and humility come from lifting weights and feeding yourself with care. And from these distinguished qualities a great nation of people is built, by God. (Of course the God part is your choice, friend.)\\" Dave Draper
