I advice you to take hot water fermentation with proper rest. You can take anti inflammatory dose which will taken down your pain.
If still the pain is more than consult a orthopedics doctor who is advice you to get x-ray done to rule out any underlying problem.
Once you pain resolved start some mild stretches and strengthening exercises for your back which which will prevent reoccurance of pain.
