Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of musculoskeletal pain and stiffness is more likely.
So avoid movements causing. Wear cervical collar. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs.
Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
You will mostly improve with all these in 1-2 days.
If not improving after 2 days then consult doctor.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
