Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It could most probably due to muscle strain in the neck. Rest your self, put ice on the painful area, take analgesics oral or topical, do not stretch your neck, put a cervical collar if necessary. Do not panic, pain will subside slowly.
I hope I have answered your question. If you have further queries, I'm happy to help you.
