Hi
I think you should do cervical neck exercise and shoulder mobilizing exercise along with short wave diathermy.
You also need to take mild analgesic.
If you dont get relieved by above treatement then cervical traction and short course steroid should be taken.
And if yet you dont get relieved then mri cervical spine should be done.
Get well soon.
Thank you.
