What causes extreme pain on neck?
Patient: Hi my 4 yr old granddaughter is having extreme pain on right side of her neck. Not an insect bitem noredness. Think maybe a pinched nerve as it has been ongoing now for approx. 5 hours since we arrived home from shopping. No fever. I gave her Tylenol tablet 4 hrs ago and she slept for about 1 1/2 hrs. Heat doesn t seem to help. but she likes a cold, wet facecloth which I have folded and placed around back & side of her neck. Thanks for any advise. Raymona Doctor: HIThank for asking to HCMI really appreciate your concern, the neck pain in this age is not common and this could be common cold or some lymph node could be there and that might have stiff the neck muscle and this is not the neurological problem symptomatic medicine would be helpful, hope this information helps you, have a nice day.
