Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi...this seems to be torticollis, which means a spasm of the neck muscles. Sometimes it can be very painful. You can use any of the over the counter anti pain medications licensed in your country for this age. If not settled I suggest you contract your pediatrician and get a prescription for anti inflammatory and muscle relaxant medications.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
