As per your complaint, there is a muscle catch at your neck because it's an acute condition which started 4 days ago so nothing to worry about, now at this pandemic I ont refer you to go n meet physiothrapist but suggest you to take
*ACEMEZ PLUS TAB ( Twice a day ) Pan 40 early morning before breakfast for 4 days.
* Muscalt forte spray or Myolaxin-D ointment apply over painful region.
*I will not suggest you to use hot pack because it's a summer so it will irritate u more.
* Strictly no exercise to neck, only rest for 4 days because your neck is full of pain with no movement how could other suggest you for exercise ,so avoid it.
Next Steps
use cervical pillow ; no hard or soft pillow only cervical pillow.
* Only rest no exercises.
*Take suggested medicines.
Health Tips
Nothing to worry this is temporary muscle catch. you need muscle relaxant.
