Patient's question:
My father's cervical spondylosis flared up a few days ago, and he also feels uncomfortable in his throat. His eyes are very dry and fatigued, as if from overuse. Headaches and other problems have reappeared as well. I want to ask the doctor what is causing the cervical spondylosis,, dry and swollen eyes, and uncomfortable throat.Doctor's answer:
Your father is most likely suffering from cervical spondylosis, which compresses the sympathetic nerve, leading to recurring dryness, soreness, and pain in the eyes. It may also cause discomfort in the throat, stiffness, and pain in the neck. There may also be symptoms of dizziness and headaches. It is recommended to take some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and complement them with acupuncture treatment. Avoid bending the head too much and you can also perform cervical traction.
