Probably OK: If it is not too severe it is probably nothing to worry about. Give it a few more days If the pain is severe or still there in a few days please see a doctor

Go to ER: The symptoms you are describing could mean anything from a simple viral associated headache, a pinch nerve in your neck or an atypical migraine to something more serious such as meningitis or a leaking aneurysm. In short it needs an examination by a doctor immediately to rule out anything more sinister.
