Neck pain: I would take ALEVE (naproxen) or ibuprofen. Apply some moist heat. Try passive range of motion exercises. See your PCP if the pain persists

Probably muscular: You should take OTC anti inflammatory med like ibuprofen 400 mg three times daily for 5-7 days and apply heat to the area. If pain persists, pl see your doctor for some imaging study of neck vertebrae for any inflammation or narrowing.

Muscle strain?: is most likely. But better to have it examined by your doc. Good luck and all the best.
