As with all muscle cramps, circulation and potassium are the keys to getting him over it. He should drink orange juice and eat bananas for the potassium, and take a long hot shower with the water jet aimed right at his neck to increase the circulation in that area. If you have a massaging shower head, so much the better.
I hope Johan gets to feeling better very soon.
Thanks for the advice. He is gradually getting better. He´s now up and is also able to turn his head straight forward and a little bit to the left. I´ll be taking him to a naprapath tomorrow if it still is the same as today.
