It would help to know a little more about the pain to get you pointed in the right direction...
Can you describe it - an ache, a sharp pain, a spot where you can press and feel the pain radiate?
Next, where is it? the point where the femur inserts into the pelvis, and feeling pain at the side, or is it more in the upper buttock, on infrastructure, near the groin?

Each of these can point to a different cause - arthritis, bursitis, sciatica, tendinitis, a damaged hip joint.

What makes it better - ice, heat, rest, ibuprofen or tylenol?

Most hip pain will respond to some form of conservative treatment. Then you learn the cause and work to prevent it from happening again.
Here I a publication from Mayo Clinic that might help you narrow it down:
