I've had a severe headache for the past 9 hours. no painkillers are touching it, the back of my head is so painful. what can i do, i need relief! ?

Go to ER or Urgent : Care. You may need something stronger than using OTC, and should be seen by a doctor. They'll need to do imaging to see if it's something simple related to your sinuses or something else. This requires a higher level of care than home management.
