Depends: You might be able to treat those symptoms with simple over the counter cold medications. However, if you're not successful, visit your family doctor for an exam, you may need prescription medication.

See below: Neck pain usually comes from a degenerative joint or disc in the neck. Sometimes it's from a muscle strain or sprain. Early treatment options include a short course of nsaids (advil, aleve), gentle massage, moist heat, and focusing on posture. If pain lasts greater than 2 weeks see your physician.
