I would like to suggest you for an X-ray of cervical spine to check if any disc issues.
Apply diclofenac ointment to the pain and clean it with warm water following hot water fermentation. With this the pain will reduce for the moment, Maintain proper posture.
Can visit or get a physiotherapist for proper diagnosis and treatment available in delhi.
X-ray will confirm if any abnormality of cervical spondydlitis.
