Hi doctor!
I am having a neck pain since 2 days. Yesterday night it was so severe that my head and shoulders. Please suggest me to which specialist Dr. I should consult or any kind of home treatment.
I applied moove and taken an ultraset medicine. Then I got sleep.
Right now also my neck is paining in any kind of movement.
I worked for 3 days on laptop while keeping it on bed and sitting on bed itself. I think this could be a reason for it.
Thanks
Chirag

Hi,
First of all a kid taking ultracet.
Wrong sitting posture might have strained your neck muscles.
Apply 40 secs of cold pack followed by 40 secs of hot pack and end again with 40 secs of cold pack.
Also keep your chin tucked in to avoid further stress to neck muscles.
Physiotherapy will help you tremendously not just to treat your neck but to teach you the correct ergonomics
Thank you,

neck pain can be due to weak and tight muscle and bad posture. your head and shoulder are paining due to pain in the neck region as it all is a chain.
try consulting a physiotherapist and the pain is consistent for 2 days.
Next Steps
and for the time being try using some hot pack and some gel. and do isometric of neck .
Use ice pack... Do gentle stretching exercises for neck at home... Go for physiotherapy treatment it will help u in pain relieving & Improve neck mobility
Dear Chirag
If this is first episode of your pain I advise you to consult a good physiotherapist because ignorance in these kind of pains can leads to strain in other muscles, which will take more time in recovery.
Health Tips
For quick and temporary relief ,Use hot water fomentation.
Hi , consult with physiotherapists.
Right now UST+TENS followed by COLD PACK should be beneficial for you.
Postural care, and rest must.
Avoid too high / too low length pillow. Choose pillow which maintain your neck alignment.
Next Steps
