Sleeping on soft pillow ( one where head sags inside) is harmful in general, try using a firm pillow. Also if u sleep on side one pillow is less add either a small pillow or rolled up shawl.
Next Steps
Consulting a physio will be ideal. Pain killer , hot bag , massage , ointment may temporarily relieve pain
