If he has no neurological deficits or brain injury symptoms, Since CT scan is negative things should be ok. I would monitor closely for next few weeks.
I had a patient who was 2 weeks out from a serious car accident, he Initially went to ER, they said he was fine, his neck muscles were in the most severe spasm I've ever seen, before doing anything I took a C spine X-ray, he had a type 2 odontoid fracture, put him in rigid collar and sent by ambulance to UC Davis med center. He had surgery and did great.
Point is, pay very close attention to his symptoms, if he seems to be worsening, get another opinion.
Good luck, Tim
