What Causes Stiffness In Neck And Back?
I usually get an upper respiratory infection when the weather begins to get colder. Yesterday I thought that was what I was coming down with , I had a slight fever which has not happened before and my upper back was achy. Around 3:00 yesterday my neck and back became very stiff, this morning I had no back or neck stiffness but today again around 4:00 my neck and back became very stiff. This is my second day on a Z pack

Your neck and back became stiff after upper raspiratory tract infection. It is not due to upper respiratory infection it is due to some pathology in the vertebrae. If i have to treat such a patient i will advice some blood tests like hb,tlc, dlc, esr, blood sugar, crp, andan xray of cervical and upper thoraxic vertebrae. If i have to treat such a patkent i will advice tab nimuslide ,peracetamol, MR, tab tramadol hard bed, tab augmentum 625 twice a day sporlac sachets, levofloxacin 500 one tab daily, steam inhalation, diclofenac gel cream for local use , rest on arrival of reports
