What Causes Pain And Stiffness In Neck?
My almost 3 year old daughter woke up this morning with neck pain and stiffness...she will literally cry out in pain when she moves it a certain way. She is preferring to lay down the only way it doesn't hurt and she doesn't want to get up and play or move much. She does have cold/cough that started up on Friday....and her current temp is 99.2
