coud be cervical spondylitis. Do hot fomentation. wear a cervical collar, avoid high pillows, do isometric (non strecthing) exercises of neck muscles, clenching and releasing without moving neck, take hep of a physiotherapist. Consult orthopedic surgeon for x ray?mri if this measure doesnt help.Avoid jerks.After fomentation apply muscle relaxant creams locally and take chloroxozone tab as muscle relaxant after meals twice a day.It is available as paraffon tab
