Hello
Right back pain may be due to many causes like renal calculus,colitis,musculoskeletal reasons etc.
You need proper clinical examination and investigations.
Investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,renal function test,liver function test,urine RE/ME,ultrasound of abdomen.
CT scan of abdomen can be done if needed.
Ultrasound of abdomen can exclude many possible causes.
Proper treatment depend upon findings.
