Suggest Medicine For Severe Lower Back Pain, Cold And Cough

I have severe lower back pain for almost 2 weeks. I had a bad cold and cough. While coughing, the lower part of my back seized and has not gone away. I ve been taking Advil, which helps a bit but it never goes away. Also, it hurts when I sit and not comfortable in bed either. What can I do to alleviate the pain? Massage, exercise?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

For my patients, I recommend hot foments twice daily, advil, physiotherapy, massaging your back with topical gels, muscle relaxants, spinal manipulation stretches, opioids will help you sleep, gabapentin and steroid injections for more sever cases . minor endoscopic or even surgical procedures are needed if the pain is chronic and persistent.

For your case its only a mild case that may subsides simultaneously or with some rest so I don't want you to be worried. Please consider a 5 star rating with some positive feedback if the information was helpful.

Hope the above information helps you, Any further clarifications feel free to ask.

Regards,
