I would suggest you to show it to a physiotherapist and learn neck muscle strengthening exercises, also you should not keep your neck in same position for long time as it may make your neck muscle fatigue. Also avoid using very high pillow . You can also take muscle relaxant like Myoril or Myospaz tablet for pain relief.Hot water fomentation is also good for you and so is Diclofenac ointment.
