Hello,
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
We have to rule out possible causes like cervical spondylitis,
If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedic and plan for an MRI neck.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
