My 16-year-old daughter, a secondary school student has been complaining of backache for the past three months. I initially though that it was due to her heavy school bag which carries on her back. Unfortunately, the pain did not abate after she stopped carrying the bag. Kindly let me know what could be the problem

Backache is a very common physical ailment among young people due to their very active life style. Your daughter might have sprained her back while working in the yard or cleaning house. It could also have come from an old sports injury or a chronic condition which will need to be investigated. Bad sleeping postures due to a faulty bed or mattress could also be a cause. If her condition does not improve after adjusting her sleeping arrangements as well as giving her common pain tablets, it will be very expedient for her to be checked by a doctor or a physical therapist.
