Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Pain at the back of neck and swelling on both side seems to be due to muscle spasm. It could be postural or due to cervical spondolitis.
X-ray cervical spine- lat view will be helpful in reaching the diagnosis.
Doing hot fomentation and applying muscle relaxant gel will be helpful.
She can take pain killers and muscle relaxant after consulting her doctor.

Hope this will helps you.

Take care.
