Hi Nomee ~

If he can't get to a doctor right now, I can tell you something to HELP ease the pain. Can he get a "cervical" collar??? It's a padded collar that is just for necks. If he can, have him wear that for awhile. If he can't, have him put ice around the painful spot for 20 minutes, every 2 hours. It should help reduce the swelling, and numb the pain. Have him keep doing this every 2 hours. It really should really help.

Other than seeing a doctor, I don't know of anything else to tell you. Take care of yourselves! Hugs, Lee
