After playing with the neighbor's dog, he seems to have some soreness and although I can't locate where, he doesn't want to stand up or exercise a lot or sometimes yelps if he moves the wrong way. What can I give him for the soreness and maybe pain?

I am currently having the same problem with my 6 year old dalmation i recently got married and when i got back after 2 days his left back leg was limping in the morning it seems worse than in the evening and i asked my vet the same question, he said to never give dogs any human medicine as they metabolise at a different rate than humans do, he prescribed remadyl for my dog which seems to work after taking an x ray of his abdomen, back and hind legs nothing came up wrong, but remadyl didnt cure anything it just takes care of the pain
