Your pain could be due to muscle spasm.
You should give hot water fomentation for 15-20 minutes twice a day.
You can use Volini gel or spray provided you are not allergic.
You should do neck and upper back stretching and strengthening exercises with proper guidance.
Next Steps
If the pain persists or aggrevates you need to consult a Physiotherapist or Orthopaedist in person or through video call for further evaluation and treatment.

If you feel pain while you move or turn your neck, it must be due to muscle stiffness. Particular muscle stretches helps. Also warm water fomentation.
