Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to a muscular issue. I suggest the following advice:
1) Apply ice for the first few days.
2) Take OTC pain relievers, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen.
3) Take a few days off from sports, activities that aggravate your symptoms, and heavy lifting.
4) Exercise your neck every day.
5) Use good posture.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
