Significant Pain, Neck Crick, Pain Relief:ice, Flatter Pillow

My 7 year old daughter woke up last night in pretty significant pain with what seems to me to be a neck crick. Besides some pain relief , ice, time and a flatter pillow, is there anything else I can do?

At this point your doing everything you can except I would exchange the ice for warmth. A warm compress will increase blood flow to the tight area and help it heal faster.
