Suggest Treatment For Stiff Neck In A 17-year-old
My 17 year old son, got out of bed this morning when his neck popped near the base of his skull. He immediately felt numbness all over and almost blacked out. His neck is still stiff when he turns his head to the right, but the other symptoms have subsided.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your son has posterior nerve root compression of the neck because of bad posture while sleeping or sitting a long time. Please take care of his posture.
For nerve healing, he can use vitamin 12 tablets. Take Neurobione forte medicine for a month.
Vitamin B12 helps in nerve healing. If he has back muscle spasm, then he can take muscle relaxant tablet like Baclofen once which relieve his back muscles spasm also.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. ARCHANA
