As explained below.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I have gone through the details. Lower back pain for 1 to 2 days can be due to a muscle strain or stress. I suggest you follow this to relieve your symptoms:

- Hot fomentation
- Pain relief gel
- Hot shower bath

The above 3 are home physio which should be done 2 times a day. It will relax the muscle. Repeat for a week.

You can take painkillers such as aceclofenac once or twice a day for 2 to 3 days.

Drink lots of water around 3 to 4 liters per day.

In case it persists, then you may have to visit your physician for a detailed examination and treatment.

I hope this answered your query.

Regards.
