What Causes Stiffness In The Neck After Recovering From Cold?
I am finally starting to get over my cold but my head felt really stuffed and my ears hurt but that has gone away. This morning i woke up with a stiff neck and when i leaned my head back it shot pain in my head. I m scared that i have meningitis Does it sound like i do
It is due to local inflammation. As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult a physician and get evaluated. We have to rule out possibilities like meningitis in that case.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
