Neck strain: It's not urgent to see a doctor if this is your only symptom. Treat with Ibuprofen or Aleve (naproxen) and ice. Its typical for muscle pain like this beginning the day after an injury . If symptoms worsen see your doctor who might refer you to physical therapy and maybe get an xray. Going to an inexpensive chiropractor for only a few times could also give some relief.
