Suggest Remedy For Sore Neck With Cold With Congestion

Hello. I've had a 'cold' with a lot of congestion and, having asthma, I've had a LOT of coughing. Now the back of my neck hurts on both the left and right side when I turn my head. I'm assuming this is from the cough and congestion but as the cold is getting better, the neck soreness is not going away. Hot shower helps, as does massage, but I'd like a bit of reassurance :) THANKS!

-Antibiotics/ Brohchodialators/ Plenty of fluids and proper bronchial drainage to avoid pneumonia or brohchiectasis.This is therefore more alarming condition and situation needs to be dealt by urgent Consultation with Chest Physician for ruling out TB / and other causes for this.
