Satus headache:: There are many causes of headaches: a persistent headache, despite home/overthecounter treatment requires a comprehensive medical evaluation with either an interventionalist pain management physician or neurologist to try to indentify the actual cause of your headache and what is the accelerator of your headache: facet arthritis, tmj, muscle tension, infections/sinus, etc..

See a doctor: A headache persisting for 5 days is fairly unusual - the best advice is to see a doctor for evaluation of headache, as soon as possible, especially fi there is fever, stiff neck or other bodily symptoms.
