How do you treat neck pain?

Neck pain can be seen in cervical spondylosis, ankylosing spondylitis, etc. It needs to be treated according to the cause, including medication and lifestyle modification. If it is caused by cervical spondylosis, commonly used medications include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g. ibuprofen, aspirin), myorelaxants (cloxacillin) and so on. At the same time, traction and exercise can be taken to relieve the pain. In general, it is necessary to change the bad posture and avoid working with the head down for a long time. Surgery is needed for severe cases. If it is caused by ankylosing spondylitis, commonly used drugs include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as celecoxib), aminosalicylic acid drugs (such as salazosulfapyridine), and hot compresses can also be taken to relieve pain. However, it is important to note that the appropriate medication must be selected under the guidance of a doctor, and not self-medication.
