Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear Sir/Madam,
Thanks for seeking help on your issue; I have gone through your symptoms, and in my opinion, it seems you have sprained your neck and this has exaggerated by continued work, take rest and Paracetamol 500 mg three times a day along with Diclofenac tablet 50 mg three times a day. Analgesic ointments can be slightly massaged, do not over do it.
rest and giving time is the best healer along with medication, you can use ultrasound or infrared deep heat therapy, in consultation with your physio.
I hope I have been able to provide you with a satisfactory solution, if you want to clear any doubts about my opinion, feel free to contact.
Special note- Any medication prescribed needs to be taken after consultation with your personal doctor only.
Thanks
