I have had neck pain since last night and have applied oil, but it is still hurting. What treatment do you recommend?

For quick relief from neck pain, you may take over-the-counter paracetamol or ibuprofen and apply a warm compress to relax the muscles. If the pain worsens or you develop numbness, weakness, or a severe headache, consult a doctor promptly for further advice and treatment.

I'm sorry to hear about your neck pain. Neck pain can be uncomfortable and persistent despite home remedies like applying oil.

Here are some steps you can try for relief:

  • Rest and gentle movement: Avoid strenuous activities but try gentle neck stretches to prevent stiffness.
  • Apply warm compress: Use a warm towel or heating pad on the neck to relax muscles.
  • Over-the-counter pain relief: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like etoricoxib (available in some prescription medications) can reduce pain and inflammation. However, these should only be taken after consulting a doctor, especially if you have other health conditions.
  • Maintain good posture: Keep your neck supported and avoid prolonged positions that strain it.

If the pain persists beyond a few days, worsens, or is accompanied by other symptoms like numbness, weakness, or fever, please consult an orthopedic specialist or a neurologist promptly for a thorough evaluation and tailored treatment.

Avoid self-medicating with prescription drugs without medical advice. If you have access to a doctor, they can recommend appropriate medication and physical therapy if needed.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.I understand you're experiencing neck pain.
