I use to suffer from stiff neck. Often!

Your symptoms are suggestive of an allergic reaction. You may require antihistamines to counter the effect of the allergies. I would advise to visit a MD general medicine so that you can be evaluated properly and undergo investigations to find the underlying cause and have it treated accordingly. These following exercises may help with the neck: - Neck Tilt: From the sitting position, tilt your head down so your chin touches your chest. Hold this position for 5 seconds. Return to the starting position and repeat. Do this five times. - Side to Side Neck Tilt: From the same starting position, tilt you neck toward one shoulder leading with your ear. Hold for 5 seconds and then return to the starting position. Do this five times on each side. - Neck Turn : Look straight ahead, then turn your head to one side, keeping your chin at the same level. Do this five times on each side. - Neck Stretch : Holding the rest of your body straight, push your chin forward, stretching your throat. Hold for 5 seconds. From the same starting position, push your chin backward and hold for 5 seconds. Do the forward and backward stretch five times each. - Rotations: Stand or sit with your back and your head squarely over your shoulders. Then, turn your head as far you can comfortably to one side. Hold it for up to 30 seconds. Then turn your head to the other side, and hold it for up to 30 seconds. - Shoulder Circles: Standing, raise your shoulders straight up and move them in a circle one way. Lower your shoulder and repeat in the other direction. - Resistance Exercises: Standing or sitting, put your left hand on the side of your head above your ear. Gently press your head against your hand while holding your head straight. Do the same thing with your right hand. - Head Lifts: Lying on the floor with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor, lift and lower your head. Make sure you don’t raise your shoulders as you do this. You can also do these lying on your side and on your stomach. If any of these exercises cause severe pain or weakness in your hands or arms, stop right away and get evaluated at the nearest ER. You should keep doing the moves for 6-8 weeks, even if you stop hurting. This will help keep your neck pain from coming back.
