How to do with sudden pain in the neck

If neck pain suddenly occurs, we should first observe whether neck movement is restricted. If the movement of the head and neck is restricted, the neck should be temporarily fixed with a neck brace to prevent the movement of the neck from aggravating the neck pain. If the neck can be moved, but painful symptoms occur when moving, it is best to reduce neck activities or do appropriate neck relaxation and stretching, take blood circulation and pain capsules or Shenyang Red Medicine orally, and apply pain-relieving ointment or Babu ointment externally to the painful location. If the pain is relieved within 3 days, you can cooperate with acupuncture treatment, manual massage treatment, magnetic therapy, electrotherapy, Chinese medicine ion introduction and other physical therapy to speed up the disappearance of pain. If the pain does not disappear or even worsens, you should go to a regular hospital to check the neck CT or MRI to rule out cervical spondylosis and cervical disc herniation. If the neck pain is accompanied by shoulder and arm pain, and you cannot move your shoulder or arm, you need to take oral medication or sedative mannitol to reduce the swelling.
