Can you be seen?: See a doctor if you can given headache and neck pain. Lack of fever is VERY consoling that this is nothing "serious" Viruses commonly cause this syndrome. Rebound can occur when using NSAIDS, consider stopping. Get enough sleep! Why aren't you? Treatments like Neti pots and OTC medication like benadryl (diphenhydramine) can help. Also steam or humidifier may open clogged nasal passages. Get well soon
