Suggest Treatment For Neck Pain And Dizziness
Hi, I woke up with a really bad cold on Sunday and I still have it now. Yesterday morning, I went a little bit dizzy at the stop of the stairs in my house, I stepped to go down the first step but i managed to slip right down to the middle and I landed in a funny way. I had pain at the top of my back and at the sides of my neck and it seems to hurt more when I lay down and because I sleep on my left side, I m in discomfort, like a nagging pain. Even when I cough, breathe out and move my head, there s still pain there

sorry you feeling so bad as neck pain on top of a cold can be quite demoralizing . the dizziness is most probably a fall out of the cold you have ands steam inhalation a thrice a day should help you . if it doesn't , I suggest a physician review where I am sure the medications like sturgeon or betahistamine would be prescribed .
the neck pain seems more like a whiplash and for now bed rest and a mild pain killer like paracetamol should do the trick . a cold compress on the neck would help too . if thing don't get better in a couple of days , physical therapy maybe needed
I hope you feel better soon
