Q) My father has a back pain, he drives a bike a lot. Can you suggest me the remedy for this.
A) Pain relief medicines, such as ibuprofen or paracetamol reduce swelling. Local application of heat by a hot water bottle or heating pad helps to relieve pain. Physiotherapy in the form of diathermy or ultrasound may help in pain relief.
Complete bed rest is not required. Exercise and exertion must be avoided until recovery. The sleeping position should be comfortable. The mattress or bedding should provide a firm support.
