Try using cold pack...it gives spontaneous relief...and do not sleep without pillow or with a very huge pillow. Also visit a physiotherapist nearby you.

Pain might have occurred due to incorrect sleep posture. Incorrect sleep posture can lead to pain and stiffness of neck muscles. Use special pillow that supports natural curve of your neck and also supports contour of your head. Don't use high pillows which keeps your neck bent. When you are lying on to one side make sure your spine is straight.
Next Steps
Apply ice for 15-20mins.
Consult physiotherapist for reducing pain and stiffness, improving flexibility of neck and shoulder muscles.
