Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. It could be muscle sprain or fracture.
2. Get an x-ray of neck done to rule out any fractures. If no fractures, you might require a cervical collar support for few days. Later on physiotherapy and neck exercises are necessary.
3. If pain is severe, you can take NSAID pain killers.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
