Brief Answer:
Use a cervical collar.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
Seems like muscular problems such strained muscles are causing your symptoms.
Cervical spondylosis could be a probable condition related to those symptoms also.
About the query for the flight, Ibuprofen is okay to use for the pain, use of a temporary cervical collar and warm procedures on your neck, eases the pain and discomfort too.
An evaluation by your primary care Doctor is necessary in the upcoming days to understand better your condition.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
