Right now it's been 4 days since the pain started I am applying some painreliving gel and taking some pain killers to easy the pain ..
Please suggest me a solution.

Your symptoms suggest coccydynia.(inflammation of coccyx).
Try:
1. Sitz bath ( A tub of hot water with dettol in which affected are has to be dipped in- 10 mins twice daily) for 10 days.
2. Medications like Enzomac, Tendocare and Ceftum will help.
3. Sit on a soft pillow or coccydynia pillow.
Next Steps
consult Orthopaedic surgeon for clinical evaluation and X rays.
Health Tips
Avoid excessive sitting and jerky movements.
Coccydynia takes 3 weeks to get ok.
