Answer by  mingxhin (188)

Do neck and shoulder stretching exercises daily to strengthen your neck. Having a good deep massage on certain painful points will also help to alleviate neck soreness. Stand, walk and sit correctly to relieve stress from your neck. Consider getting quality footwear as it can affect your spine up to your neck.

It depends on the pain. If it is not very strong a warm compress should do. You might want to stretch the muscles gently. For stronger pains take a painkiller.
