Hi,

Thanks for your query.

You can try these home remedies:

- Apply ice pack: The ice or cold pack should be applied in twenty-minute intervals during the initial 24 hours.

- Apply heat like hot shower, heat wrap.

- Massage

- Use anti-inflammatory or muscle relaxants such as Dolo 650 or Baclofen twice a day for 2 days after food.

- Neck rotation exercises.

- Fluid intake; dehydration can also lead to muscle spasms.

I hope this answered your query.
