Dear patient
there is possibility of neck spasm considering your symptoms. Are you using large pillows?Avoid that. Use low heigh soft pillow while sleeping. Tab myoril 4mg twice a day with tab ibuprofen 400 mg thrice a day should be taken for 3 days. Hot water fomentation with water bag helps pain relief. Apply diclofenac gel locally over area of pain. If you are getting cold also please consult physician. Hope this is useful.
