What Could Be The Reason For Having Pain At The Base Of My Skull?

My 9 year old daughter is having pain at the base of her skull on the left side, going into the top of her neck. It hurts to turn her neck in that direction. It seems to respond well to Ibuprofen. No other symptoms aside from a sore throat the day before this started (yesterday), but now the sore throat is gone, just some slight congestion. She does gymnastics and I don t know if she tweeked something or not.
