Hi,
The neck muscle spasm persists or increases along with time as neck is continuously moving when awake and you are a singer too.
- Street brawl can cause such spasms that may manifest later.
- Since you have no insurance you can start taking Ibuprofen as
anti-inflammatory and painkiller.
- Apply rubefacient liniment to sooth muscle spasm.
- Take rest for some time at least to hasten the recovery.
- You can apply heat to the affected area.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, ENT & General Surgeon
