My 7 year old has pulled a muscle in his neck and can't move his head without crying about the pain My OH has gone to work and has taken my mobile (don't have a landline) so I'm not able to ring the doc till he gets back....should I just wait or take the little one to A&E?? I doubt they'd be able to do much but he's so upset I don't know what to do to ease it for him. Any ideas?

Is there an online version of NHS direct?
I'm sure there's summat available...other than that keep him comfy and his head on a pillow with some ibuprofen I reckon...hope his pain stops

I would take him to A&E, at least they will give him medication to ease the pain, and check it out to make sure he's done no serious damage to his neck. I hope he gets better soon
My 6 year old sneezed tho ther week and pulled a muscle in his neck The only thing that really worked for him was childrens paracetamol and propping up pillows so he could lay down comfy
Hope he feels better soon bless him

Just been in contact with my mum who (thankfully) was in town and went to Boots. The pharmacist told her he should just rest his neck and take some kids ibuprofen so she's on her way up here with that.
Now the 3 year old is laid up on the other sofa saying the 'mukkles' on his head are sore too

I hope so too Russ.
Is it wrong for me to say how quiet it is in here with it being a bank holiday and the kids off school? They're usually killing each other but are just lying there watching cartoons. It's kinda nice

I say make the most of it, coz if the ibuprofen does work, it could all change
