Suggest Medication For Head And Neck Pain

I have pain in my head and neck. Mostly occurs when I first wake up in the morning and when i move a whole lot during workouts and cheerleading (I workout twice a day 5 times a week). It has been going on for quite sometime now. I ve been taking 600mg of ibuprofen 3 times a day, for several weeks, almost two months. Is there anything else I can do?

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have head and neck pain . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like tension headache , sitting in one posture for long time , meningitis , cervical spondolysis and trigger points of trepezius muscle .

Doctor my prescribe muscle relaxant , anti inflammatory , recommend stretching exercises , and physical therapy . Doctor may also refer you to neurologist for meningitis or tension headache . For now take proper rest , do not sit in one posture for long time and apply warm compresses on neck .
