thanks for the question.
In all probability you have spondylosis in neck for which you need anti-inflammatory medicines. If paracetamol can be available to you then you may take twice a day for 5 days and see the response. Do hot fomentation to affected regions and take multivitamins available as supplements. Do neck exercises rotating neck in all possible directions and do shoulder exercises as well

Hello and Welcome to HCM,
Thanks for writing to us.
You might suffering from cervical spondylosis. It is a common degenerative condition of the cervical spine. It is most likely caused by age-related changes in the intervertebral disks.
I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the cervical spine under his/her guidance to look for arthritis or other changes in your spine.
Your doctor after diagnosing the condition may refer you for physical therapy. The physical therapist will help you reduce your pain using stretches. The therapist will show you how to do exercises that make your neck muscles stronger
Hope this helps you.
Wishing you good health...
Regards.
Dr Saurabh Gupta.
