Hello Mr. lybrate-user thank you for your query. Neck pain since 2 days might be due to acute cervical sprain. It can have various causes, common ones being improper posture/ lifting weights / underlying nutritional deficiencies and muscle imbalance. You could apply any diclofenac gel over it with hot packs fomentation. However if you would like to go to its detail to diagnose the problem accurately and manage it accordingly, feel free to consult me privately.

Hello lybrate-user,
yes it could be because if wrong posture or excessive mobile/ tablet/ laptop usage. You can try hot fomentation locally over affected area, take rest, avoid looking down continuously.
If problem persists then you should see nearest orthopedician.
