Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

I am sorry that you are going through the back pain since last few days.

The cure for it would be gotten from giving complete rest to your back. Lie down on your back straight without any pillow for a stretch of 4 hours. This will release any spasm in the back muscles.

You can apply volini gel on the back and give local hot compress using hot water bags to your back as well.

Take simple analgesics like paracetamol thrice daily for next couple of days.

Give as much rest to your back as possible. Other muscles relaxants and analgesics that are effective are Brufen MR, Etoricoxib, tramadol etc. but these require prescription from a doctor. If you do not get relief soon, please get the medicines prescribed by your doctor.

Get well soon.
