SHORT TERM: Take analgesic with muscle relaxant such as TAB ETOSHINE MR twice/day along with antacid such as pantoprazole 40 mg before breakfast for 3-5 days
Use flexabenz spray twice/day
Use hot packs 2-3 times/day for 10-12 minutes/each
Take frequent breaks in between say after every 45-60 minutes for 2-5 minute
Try to sit straight in chair with rigid back support at least to your shoulder blade height
LONG TERM/TO TREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN: Consult specialist in musculoskeletal specialty and get assessed in terms of your your posture and reactive muscle spasm and muscle weakness and imbalance.
Start individualized exercise regimen to correct postural deficit, relieve hyperactive muscle groups and strengthen weaker muscles and increase endurance of postural muscle groups to withstand your work demands of prolonged sitting

Spontaneous one-sided back pain can occur for a variety of reasons, but it's usually related to the soft-tissue (muscle, ligament, joint).

Hi, visit nearby physiotherapy clinic for proper assessment and treatment,there might be so many reasons for ur back pain.
As ur doing a sitting job,try to maintain ur posture and ergonomics.support ur lumbar curvature while sitting for a longer hours.
If ur having pain or spasm take electrical modalities to reduce the spasm and pain.
After that start doing mobilization, stretching to ur back,later strengthening exercises
Next Steps
Avoid lifting heavy weights,prolong sitting and standing
Health Tips
hot/ice can be done 3-5 times a day,followed by stretching to avoid spasm.
