Suggest Treatment For Sharp Lower Back Pain

A few days ago I was laying down and coughing and felt a sudden sharp pain in my lower back. It was feeling better up until this morning. Now, it hurts when I walk or move. The pain is now causing my hips to hurt. How should I take care of my back to make the pain go away?
