Question
An 8-year-old boy is suffering from cervical physiological kyphosis, subluxation, and bulging. Half a month after the onset, the main symptom is neck pain. After conservative treatment, the pain has been relieved, but he is still worried about his condition and hopes to receive further medical advice.
Answer
Based on the patient’s description, it may be cervical spondylosis. It is recommended to undergo cervical X-ray or MRI to confirm the condition. Treatment can include physical therapy such as traction, massage, heat therapy, or electrical therapy, along with medications like symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs and muscle relaxants. In daily life, it is important to maintain proper neck movement, avoid long periods of maintaining the same posture, to alleviate symptoms and promote recovery. Additionally, attention should be given to rest and nutrition to prevent the condition from worsening.
