Detailed Answer:
Hi there

Thanks for the query

This could be because of nerve pinching in the neck.

Avoid bending neck forward or lifting weights. Apply hot packs to the affected region. Take Tablet Diclofenac with Thicolchicoside combination twice a day after meals and Tablet Rabeprazole twice a day before meals for 5 days. These medicines require a prescription. You can go for over the counter medication line Tablet Ibuprofen 400mg twice a day for 5 days instead and Tablet Neurobion forte twice a day for a month. Avoid using thick pillow.

Get an Xray and MRI of the cervical spine and upload them for a clear picture to heel device the treatment.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
