My almost five year old has complained of neck pain off and on for a good while now. His pediatrician ordered a neck x-ray and all was normal. He started complaining again a few days ago. He points to one of the bones in the vertebrae on the back of his neck and says it hurts on the bone. Last night I felt it and it feels larger than mine does in that same spot. What do you recommend I do from here. I am very paranoid!!
Look if there was any abnormality with the vertebral bones it would surely have come up in X-ray, if its properly done. X-ray cervical region anteroposterior view and lateral views are required. If it's normal then there may be a problem with eyesight. Check a refraction for your child. Also give him SYR UpriseD3 5ml once daily for 15 days (its vitamin D). Also try to look into the posture the baby is sleeping at night which could also cause cramps in neck muscle.
