How to take away or deal with a stiff neck/pain in my neck?

Update:

Since yesterday, I have had pain on the left side of my neck. I have had pain on that side of my neck before, but I don't know how to get rid of it. I think I got it because I was on my phone to much and I stayed in one position, but to me I just want to know if there are any tips to get rid of the pain or deal with it.

???

    A chiropractor should be able to help by massaging the area or in some cases, a neck adjustment (I had some).

    At home, try to sit up straight, use ice or heat, and take pain medicine. Or you can massage the area yourself.

    I would wrap a wet hot towel around the neck. The heat is good at relaxing all the muscles in the neck.
