: Typical episodes of severe migraine have about 24 hrs of post-drome following the active headache. 5 days is too long, raising potential concerns for ischemia, such as a small stroke. This needs immediate attention through an ER or Urgent Care Center. You cannot handle this on your own! See a physician, and likely a skilled neurologist.
