What Does Backache On The Left Side Indicate?

My daughter woke up with a lot of pain in the upper left side of her back. She says it hurts to breathe as well. I think she has some sort of muscle strain. I gave her two extra strength Tylenol , massaged her back and had her ice it. Also she just took a hot bath. Should I take her to the urgent care?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

How old is she? The left side pain may be due to urinary infection, renal calculi, pyelonephritis or due to muscle spasm or bone problems. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.

Please consult your doctor he will do scan abdomen and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
