More information: Most benign headaches (migraine, tension) will resolve before 8 days, though this is not 100% guaranteed. A sudden, very severe headache (which you did not describe) could be a brain hemorrhage. Infection such as encephalitis would be possible if a fever, for example. You need to see a physician or supply more details. Onset? Location? Fever? Character of headache? (throbbing, sharp?)

Notify your doc: Prolonged headache may suggest continued pathology, and this should be evaluated either by your GP or a neurologist. There are many potential Causes for this, and most can be determined in a visit, but may require X Rays, MRIs, or other testing for,certainty. Call now
