Frequently Asked Questions about Torticollis

5. Which painkillers are most effective?

Someone who suffers from torticollis might want to take painkillers to help cope with pains and neck stiffness. Most adults find that 1,000 mg of paracetamol (two tablets) four times a day is all they need, but others prefer to take anti-inflammatory painkillers. It is easy to find these kinds of medications on sale over the counter at pharmacies, so there is no need to make a doctor's appointment. Now and again, you might want an even stronger painkiller such as codeine, but remember that this often causes constipation.
