I freaked out when I had sudden neck pain, thinking it was cervical spondylitis. Honestly, it was just a bad posture issue from working on my laptop. It went away in a few days with simple heat packs, so don't stress too much.
Beta, at this stage of life, I can tell you that most neck pain comes from our stiff sleeping positions. Use a thin pillow instead of a thick one, and apply some warm mustard oil. Your body just needs gentle care and rest, don't worry.
Applying a hot water bag or doing gentle neck rotations can help ease the stiffness naturally. However, if you feel any numbness or tingling radiating down your arms, please see a doctor immediately. Such symptoms shouldn't be treated at home.

I literally just got over a terrible neck spasm last week. A physiotherapist told me to do simple chin tucks and avoid looking down at my mobile screen constantly. Using a hot compress twice a day really speeded up my recovery.
