What Causes Sore Neck And Tender Joints While Treating An Ear Infection?
Hello, The tenderness on the neck and down to back is due to ear infection she is currently treating. Tender joints could be related to antibiotics she has been prescribed for ear infection. I think you should give her paracetamol first at home, keep her warm. If still no improvement, and if she will have fever, should send to ER. All the best. Dr.Albana Sejdini
