Remedy advice for stiff or painful neck

Hi please could someone help with advice for remedy. I have read arnica is good.
My son has been complaining of his neck hurting when he looks up and down and now when he looks left and right. I wondered of a remedy that could help please.
Many thank

Pixie,

What do you think caused this?Doing sports or out playing?

Or has he slept in wrong positions?

Or is he now on ipad or computer or phone or video games and doing repetitive
motions? Or -- fil in the blank.

What helps him with this- laying still and pressure on the neck?

Now you have asked. I am hoping he slept funny as woke with it but I'm also in a state of panic about tetanus.
I am a worrier as you know but he had his three baby vaccines and no tetanus booster.
He got compost in a sore finger nail a few weeks ago and it was infected in the morning. I quickly cleaned it and gave him a few doses of ledum which was advised by Ainsworths.

It was worse this morning. Got a little better throughout the day and has got worse again tonight. It's not stopping him from doing anything and it does have quite a bit of movement it's more of a pain when he turns and tilts it.
So he's not really doing anything to ease it as I said it isn't too bad it's restricting him I just want it gone for my own anxiety.

He has been playing on my iPad though some mornings as its half term. And he also woke a few days ago with a funny neck and a headache which eased quite quickly but this time it's different and has been there all day.
Sorry if I have quite answered with enough info

Hi-Tetanus progresses- read this-If individuals have a recent injury and are starting to experience muscle cramps or spasms at or near the injury, they should go to a hospital's emergency department immediately.
If individuals have trouble swallowing or have muscle spasms in the facial muscles, go to the emergency department for treatment immediately.

This could be coming from repetitive neck bending
on the ipad- the ipad needs to be propped up at eye level.
Also from sleep positions.

See if warmth helps and he has to keep the neck still to heal.

Try to set him up for sleep with good neck support and some
pillows under his knees and ask him to stay that way-might
have to put bolster pillows around him.

If it is getting worse as you say during the day- it is
probably from trying to use his neck when he has to
not use it and it will heal up by itself.

See if stillness and warmth helps for today and sleeping right.
Rhus tox is the remedy for better from movement-
Bryonia is for better at stillness and rest- but this is a common
thing and probably nothing needed, just find out what is
doing it.

Thanks Simone.
I think I do think I'm over worrying.
It's such a hard choice about vaccines. You worry either way.

I will see how he is in the morning as he's fallen asleep now. It does seem worse when tired or after resting.

He hasn't had the iPad at all today and we have been out playing all day. Ill make sure he stays off it.

Thanks for responding 😀
