What Causes Severe Neck Pain In Infants?
My two year old daughter randomly started crying and holding her neck saying it hurts. She doesn't have much language yet so it's hard to know exactly what's going on....but I thought maybe she had just scratched herself or something and laid her down for a nap after I had calmed her down. When I got her up from nap she was still complaining of neck pain and only is content when I'm holding her and her head is resting on me. Any help would be great.

Hi,
From history it seems that while playing or holding her from bed might get some neck muscle strain giving rise pain while any neck movement.
Give her rest to neck muscle by keeping her in bed, avoiding lifting for few days,
Apply some analgesic cream in the neck.
Apply ice pack on the part.
If require give her paracetamol syrup for pain.
Ok and take care.
