Posture adopted during breast feeding may cause symptoms of Cervical Radiculitis.
As you are feeding your baby, not all the drugs can be prescribed to you.
It is better to correct posture, so that your neck is neutrally positioned.
Massage of neck and back.
Heating Belt
Add Calcium supplements to your diet.( Breast feeding mothers needs 5 tomes the normal required dose of calcium)
Tab Paracetamol, when there is extreme pain.
