Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My mom just felt a pop in the back of her head from coughing and now she has a sharp pain from her neck to the right side of her head with a headache. I didn t know what to do so I gave her to Bayer aspirin and an ice pack. Should she seek medical attention?
Hello, It seems to be a muscle strain arising out of severe cough. There is nothing to worry. Treatment consists of local ice pack and tablet ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day for 3-4 days. Baby aspirin won't have any effect on that. She should be all right in next 3-4 days. Thanks
