My daughter did not complain all day of a stiff neck. After the dance recital, she seems to be hurting, not wanting to move her neck. She is 8 years old, woke up with a sore throat, and was in a dance recital at 11 am. At 5 pm, she complained of a badly stiff neck. I have given her a Theraflu packet for the sore throat. What should I do for her stiff neck?
