How To Treat Pain In Upper Back Due To Falling On Ice?

Hi there I fell on ice about a week and a half ago and landed directly on my upperback/neck/head area. I was sore the next day but as time has gone on ive gained this pain in my neck any time i look up or down. It hurts if i lay down and put my hands behind my head or sometimes when I reach for things. It seemed to have gotten worse each day and now its at a constant. Its not swollen anywhere and Its not tender to touch. Its not a horrible pain but its definitely there and definitely effects m everyday activities. Should I go to the doctors and get this checked out or wait and see if it improves?
