Hi, welcome to HCM.
Since, the child is crying while moving neck, it could be due to muscular injury or could be fracture.
In my opinion, x ray neck ap and lateral view should be done immediately to rule out fracture.
Till then don't try to move the neck and apply local pain reliever gel.
I hope this will help you.
Take care.
