What’s wrong with a cold sore neck?

Cold neck pain may be caused by frostbite, arterial blockage, cervical spondylosis and other factors. 1. Frostbite: There is usually no clothing wrapped around the neck, so when the weather is too cold, you may feel a cold neck. If the skin is persistently exposed to the cold environment, frostbite of the neck may occur, thus causing pain. Symptoms can be relieved by wrapping the neck in a scarf, blanket, or quilt. 2. Arterial blockage: After arterial blockage, poor local blood supply may occur. When ischemia and hypoxia occur in the local skin, the symptom of cold and painful neck may occur. Symptoms can be relieved by surgical treatments, such as percutaneous balloon dilatation and stent implantation. 3. Cervical spondylosis: When cervical spondylosis occurs, the nerves around the cervical spine are compressed or stimulated, which may cause cold neck pain. Symptoms can be improved through physical therapy, such as massage and traction. If the patient has a cold and painful neck, it is recommended that the patient go to the hospital in a timely manner to improve the physical examination, color Doppler ultrasound, MRI and other tests, to clarify the cause of the disease, and active treatment.
