Is this whiplash?

On Tues I was using a scooter with my kids (thinking I was a 10yr old instead of late 30's) and I took a massive fall. I fell on to the left side of my body but I didn't want my head to hit the ground so I lifted my head & neck quickly to the right, away from the concrete. It really hurt but I took some paracetamol and was pretty much okay the rest of the day. However on Wednesday morning I woke up in absolute agony, the right side and back of my neck, my right shoulder and upper right back. I also had a headache all day yesterday. Today is much the same but no headache this morning as of yet.

Paracetamol and ibuprofen have done nothing. I don't really like to take anything stronger. Would heat help? I have a self heating lotion from sanctuary and I have one of those microwaveable bean bag things. I can just let this heal itself right? Like I don't need to go do anything about it? Never experienced whiplash before.
