Your pain most likely looks like upper back muscle tightness/spasm, because the child was playing on your back for a long time. Sometimes gas or acidity can also increase this type of discomfort, especially when pain comes during burping or eating.
For now:
Take rest for 2â3 days.
Apply hot water bag/heat pack for 15â20 minutes, 2â3 times daily.
Avoid heavy lifting, bending, and sudden twisting.
Eat light food and avoid tea/coffee, spicy food, cold drinks.
Do not lie down for 2â3 hours after meals.
Usually this improves in a few days.

The back tightness and pain above the middle of your back after your child played on it for a long time is most likely due to muscle strain and spasm in the thoracic (mid-back) region. The wave-like nature of the pain, worsening with eating, drinking, and burping, and the feeling of restricted breathing are characteristic of intercostal or thoracic muscle spasm â the muscles in this area share nerve pathways with the stomach and diaphragm, which is why these activities aggravate the pain. Rest, a warm compress on the area, and avoiding sudden movements or heavy lifting should help it settle.
Next Steps
Please consult a physician if the pain does not improve in 2-3 days or if you develop chest pain or persistent breathing difficulty. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.
