Patient's question:
Often carrying a child causes neck and shoulder pain, weakness in the arms, especially when feeling cold or having a cold, making one feel particularly weak. Two months ago, I had mumps, and now when my neck aches, I also feel pain in the muscles behind the ear and neck. Is it cervical spondylosis or related to the mumps?Doctor's answer:
It might be caused by conditions such as cervical spondylosis or neuritis. An X-ray examination can be performed for a detailed check. Treatment options include traditional Chinese medicine and neurotrophic drugs. Additionally, massage and physical therapy can be combined for treatment. After recovering from mumps, it should never reappear as neck muscle pain. It is important to rest more, reduce the time spent carrying children, and enhance nutrition. Avoid overexertion.
