Need Medication For Pain & Stiffness In Neck Close To Ear Lobe

I woke up this morning with pain and stiffness in my neck, up sort of high near my ear lobe. It doesn t hurt in a normal posture, or if I tilt my head to the left, foward, or back. When I try to tilt my head to the right, it becomes very painful, and aside from pain it is very difficult to tilt it far, like something is stopping it.

Hello,

It sounds more of a spasmodic Neck. This situation arises when there is an abnormal position acquired during the sleep and the bone of the cervical spine gets locked.

You do not have to consume any medication but use the hot water fermentation to release the stiffness in the neck muscles which will allow the facet joints to get unlocked.

Rest assured, you will be fine in 2-3 days of time along with hot water fermentation and simple neck rotation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
