Is it possible for you to get a cold in your neck ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes - in a way.: In traditional chinese medicine there is a concept of pernicious winds that the neck is particularly susceptible to. When it is cold keep both your neck and head well covered to prevent effects of pernicious winds.
