Hello dear
I understand your concern

Cervical strain pain is due to muscle strain and nerve compression in the cervical spine.
I would suggest to undergo MRI for confirmation.
Take following advises:
Tablet Pregabalin once a day at the bed time for one month
Tablet Methylcobalamine once a day for one month
Also take muscle relaxant along with above tablet.
Warm pad application in the pain area.
Intermittent Cervical traction exercises and neck exercise will helpful
Wear Soft cervical collar specially
Do not keep your neck in same position for long time.
Hope this will help you
