Based on description, might be a catch in Neck holding muscles, as it subsided to minimal pain level, Icing or moist heat will solve the problem,
For complete pain reduction it will take time, if it doesn't in 2 more days, u can go for further investigations
Next Steps
Wear cervical collar till pain reduces , as it restrict the excess movement and I suggest u to continue for a period of time as preventive measure
