She gets relief when she is sleeping or applyting hot pad . Request you to please suggest
[|AI|]  Hi Amiga, Thanks for writing your query. After reading your post, I would suggest that you should continue physiotherapy and traction as advice by your doctor. You can take painkiller like Ibuprofen twice a day after meals along with muscle relaxant chloraxazone along with an antacid. Doing hot fomentation and application of pain relieving gel on the neck will give some relief to the symptoms. Also, donor use a very thick pillow. I hope this is helpful to you. Thanks.
