Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcaremagic
Greetings of the day
Dear Ms

The symptoms are consist with Neck Paraspinal muscle spasm.
I would suggest you the following

1 Hot water fomentation : Either by using cloth soaked in hot water or using hot water bag.
It will reduce the muscle spasm

2. Adequate rest and proper support of neck by using firm pillows

3. Along with analgesic you are taking considering adding Skeletal muscle relaxant

4. Local application of analgesic ointment or gentle massage will be helpful

5. Avoid exposure to cold air especially Air conditioning as it's likely to aggravate symptoms


Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.



Take care
