Lower back pain
I am seeking advice for my 5 yrs 6 month old son, who got his back pain while playing on the bed (jumping) 2 days ago. Consulted the doctor today, he confirmed no fracture, pain may be due to damage to muscle, prescribed paracetamol syrup, calcium tablet and diclofenac cream.
My concern is that my son is not getting relief from pain, it's Sunday and very difficult to reach out to doctor at the moment.
Please advise.
Best regards.

Low backache in children of 5-6 yrs age is very uncommon. It is unlikely to be due to jumping in bed
It must be investigated & a cause must be found out & treated accordingly there after.

Did he sustain an injury while jumping up and down? How are his movements? Sometimes, in kids, there can be some damage without actual fractures.
Next Steps
See an orthopaedic surgeon for clinical examination and further treatment.
