I am 6 weeks pregnant and I just got a stiff neck. Is there anything I can take to help with the pain?

Hello! In your case, if the pain is limited to a torticollis without other symptoms (headaches? dizziness?), I recommend that you take acetaminophen (tylenol) 325 mg (2 tablets every 6 hours if needed) please let me know if this is the case), I recommend that you take acetaminophen (tylenol) 325 mg (2 tablets every 6 hours if needed), apply heat (not with a medicated cream, but rather with a magic bag or a hot water bottle), and massage the painful area. Please note that anti-inflammatory drugs such as advil, motrin aleve or voltaren gel are contraindicated for you at this time. If the pain persists for more than 2-3 days, it would be best to consult. I hope this answers your question and good luck with your pregnancy! Emmanuelle
