Back sprain
I woke up in the morning and carried my 1.5 year old baby for some distance on the road. After placing him down, I got this terrible pulled muscle kind of pain on my back- right side. Now evry movement is painful except for lying on my side or face down. Docs are available only by evening. How to manage till then?

Hi, this is Dr Nitish MD please take some rest, massage and ice pack. If the pain is still severe, you can take a painkiller. It is not possible for me to prescribe a pain killer online, but a chemist can give you.
