General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms of your son seem to be related to a herniated disc in the neck.
A herniated disk in your neck can cause numbness, weakness, and a tingling sensation in one arm.
It can also cause radiating pain in the arm, neck, or shoulders.
It can be treated with rest, heat and cold applications, and over-the-counter pain relievers.
I suggest using Tylenol to relieve the symptoms.
If symptoms continue, see a neurologist and get evaluated.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
