apply an ice pack to your neck and upper shoulders for twenty minutes every hour and plan on resting for at least two days.

Tylenol, heating pad and don't lay around too much. Try to move around slowly, you do not want the muscles to continue tightening. Of course, if by the end of the day there is no improvement, call your doctor.
