Are you using double straps for your book bag or carrying on a single shoulder? Use double straps and reduce the stress on the shoulder. Your entire body will be taking the weight. I would rest the shoulder for a week. You could do cardio and gently stretch the area, work on other body parts in terms of weight training but leave the shoulder alone. If it's not better then talk to your doctor. Shoulder issues can get very serious very quickly. I irritated my shoulder and nothing worked until I just gave up and rested it.
