Pulled a muscle in my neck from coughing - now what?

[busymama77]

I've had this annoying cough for over a week now and Monday night, I coughed so hard and awkwardly, that I ended up pulling a muscle in my neck and it's sore.  It's sore to the touch and I can't even sleep on my right side right now.  I DH feel it this morning and he thinks that's what it is as well but now what do I do?  Will it just heal on its own?

It will heal. Try icing it or heating it (or alternating). One of those might provide temporary relief. And obviously, don't do anything that hurts it.
