Headache: You should see your primary care physician to have the headache evaluated. It may be a sinus headache, tension headache, migraine headache, cluster headache, or any of a multitude of headaches. It should be evaluated to determine the cause and proper treatment.

Urgent: There might be a few reasons you are having a prolonged headache. If you have a history of migraines, sometimes a headache can last this long. However, if this has not happened before, you do not have a history of migraines or other associated symptoms, like numbness, tinging, trouble speaking or fevers, seek immediate treatment with an urgent care or ER to evaluate for other serious conditions.
