Hi,
All these symptom suggest that you might be having cervical musculoskeletal spasm,you require muscle relaxants like myoril 4 mg twice daily .
You require stronger analgesics like hifenac twice daily for 4-5 days along with relaxants.Stop Benadryl
Do neck relaxation exercise
If still symptoms persists you need further evaluation like MRI cervical spine
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery
