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.
For the last three days when I drink cold drinks I feel a quick sharp pain that radiates slightly to the back of my neck. Not coughing or anything and only last for a second. Only occurs with cold drinks. Sharp to dull pain on a scale of 1-10 maybe a 2 it’s just noticeable. Thank you! Mitch
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The sharp neck pain is just muscle spasms in response to cold drink. There is nothing to be worried about. If the spasm persist for more than few minutes, apply heat to relax the muscles.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
