Muscle relaxant is not the permanent solution, it only provides temporary relief. Neck pain generally occurs due to bad postures, tight neck muscles, degenerative disc diseases.
Next Steps
Consult with a good physiotherapist or consult with us online.

Regular exercise, postural correction and if needed manual therapy will help your cause definitely.

There is no harm in having a muscle relaxant once in a day but that may be temporary relief, however you should work and try to find out the root cause of your pain, be it bad posture, a tight muscle or muscle imbalance, hence treatment can be given ineffectively
Next Steps
Consult online and get alignment checked
Health Tips
Donot overtake the medication / donot delay treatment

Before going to your question can you please think it of how u got the pain Becoz of work from home and u may not know how to sit infront of laptop if ur soft ware engineer if so then the angle of eye contact to the laptop should be 45 degree so kindly make it up to this . If ur house wife and doing house hold chore take care while lifting weight and sleeping n a pillow too . Evry concept is based on etiquette so if ur using frequent cellphone by bending ur neck then u may get neck pain among all these reasons said u didn’t tell
Us what made u to get neck pain . The mechanical neck pain depend on the position of the neck while ur doing you activity it may sometime respond to pain killer some time may not . So gentle neck exercises in all
Direction and shoulder bracing exercises can be useful . Avoid taking pain killer and instead use ice pack over the neck will give u some relief and apply pain relieving gel like violinist . Take care stay safe .
