Whiplash: First Aid
-
Try over-the-counter pain relievers like aspirin, acetaminophen, or ibuprofen.
-
For at least 2 to 3 weeks, avoid activities that bring on or worsen your pain and stiffness. For example, don't lift or carry anything heavy or participate in sports.
-
If you have muscle spasm when you move your head or the pain involves your shoulders or arms, your doctor may recommend a soft neck collar or short-term use of a prescription drug to relax the muscles.
