Brief Answer:
Need muscle relaxants.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in the neck can be due to cervical spondylosis or muscle spasm. You need oral muscle relaxants in combination with a good analgesic for relief. Avoid using a pillow. You can do a hot compress and apply local analgesic gel on the area for relief.
All these especially muscle relaxants are prescription only medicines. It is best to consult an orthopedician and get appropriate medicines prescribed.

I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
