[|Human|] I was in a car accident yesterday, someone hit us from behind, I think I have whiplash as my shoulders and neck are sore, but what s worrying me is directly after the accident I started coughing and I still am...it has gotten so bad, I ve vomited and my throat is now raw. Is this a result of the accident or just a coincidence?
[|AI|]  Hi thanks for your query. The features in you are strongly suggestive of some significant neck and or spine injury....there could be prevertebral or retrovertebral injuries....all I suggest you are stabilised your spine with a soft cervical collar.....then get an MRI CERVICAL SPINE...MRI has got advantages of picking up even soft tissue injuries of the neck like bruises or contusions. Meanwhile take tab pantoprazole 40 mg,diclofenac sodium 100 mg SR.twice a day. Check your breathing, bowel and bladder pattern. If you find difficulty with these functions. Report immediately to your doctor, as whiplash injuries can be quite notorious. Take care. Thank you
