How Can Back Pain Be Treated?

I lifted my granddaughter and hurt my back on the right side. This is day four and I am not feeling much better. Is it best to do exercises for back pain? A heating pad feels good but when I stop using it, the pain is back. I have alternated between tylenol and advil without much benefit. I am looking for the best plan of action. Thank you, Laura
