Thank you for contacting PetCoach with your question about Prancer. Poor boy. I suspect he is in pain if he won't turn his neck to one side. Unfortunately there are no OTC pain medications you can give him. Many human ones are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. I think it's best to take him into a vet today or tomorrow to get this checked out. I hope this helps!
