Orthopaedic Surgeon, Dr. Santosh S Jeevannavar's Response

Hello,
You seem to have sprained your neck. This commonly occurs due to bad posture or improper sleeping positions. I would recommend you to use pain relieving gel (local application) along with hot fomentation. Please consult a physiotherapist for correcting your posture and also to strengthen your neck muscles,

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

Regards,
Dr. Santosh S Jeevannavar, Orthopedic Surgeon
