Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I had a car accident a week ago, and my neck was injured and I think it is from the seat belt; I am not sure, but after a week, today I just noticed that my neck is bruised in blue. What can it be?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com
I read your query and understand your concern. Do not worry I am here to take care of you. Regarding your symptoms, you have the following diagnosis: cervical ecchymosis. Do a cervical CT (computed tomography) scan and please take the following:
1. Tablet Acetaminophen (Paracetamol) 500 mg once a day orally.
2. Capsule. Piroxicam (hard gelatin capsules) 40 mg every day.
3. Tablet. Artemether (Lumefantrine)100 mg once a day orally.
4. Capsule Co-Amoxiclav (Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid) 625 mg once a day orally.
5. Apply Neurogesic (Diclofenac and Paracetamol) cream two times a day.
If your symptoms persist, schedule another appointment for follow-up via chat, phone, or video consultation with the laboratory report. I hope I have cleared all your doubts.
Thank you.
