Use neck collar and explain the present symptoms more clearly and if there are any tingling or weakness in the extremities consult an orthopedic spine surgon immidiately.

Dear User, We are not Gods and just apply the knowledge and experience written in books. we can not reverse a disease process but can help the patient by reducing symptoms by treatment in form of conservative or surgical therapy. this is a serious injury and if associated with neurological deficit (numbness, loss of power, bowel bladder involvement) has a poorer prognosis. if the pain and swelling in the neck is of concern, it shal heal all by itself and needs immobilization. we need to assess the patient and look for radiological parameters before we can comment on anything. please consult an orthopedic doctor specializing in spine surgery with all reports. In case of an emergent treatment, this is not the right platform.

Avoid movement on neck n use collar. If any problem in lower n upper limbs like weakness n tingling n numbness etc so better visit the surgeon earliest possible.
