Day 5 of a headache and no relief with over-the-counter meds. should i go to my regular doctor?

Yes: If you have a headache that is new or different than your usual headache, or does not respond to usual treatment, that is a very good reason to see your doctor. If you also have fever, neck stiffness, or confusion, you should probably go to the ER. Hope this helps!
