Suggest Treatment For Neck Pain Caused After An Injury
Question: I fainted on hard tile floor and my neck hurts when I move it or sleep. Is there a certain I should sleep or move
Brief Answer:
Sleep with pillow to support neck muscle
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for posting
After going through your description of Injury, I hope you have been seen by primary care physician/Emergency room? What did they said?
You may use drugs like Ibuprofen along with muscle relaxant (Thiocolchicoside), soft neck collar and hot water fomentation will help. You may have to talk to your local doctor as these are prescription only drugs.
Avoid unnecessary neck movement/exercises; sleep with the pillow with thickness equal to your forearm.
Hope this helps and I shall be glad to answer any further query.
