A member asked:

Having bad neck pain & head pain on the left side ugh... what to do ibuprofen aint helping took 600mg?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Questions: 1. Any recent trauma 2. History of migraine. 3. Recent fever/upper respiratory infection/flu etc. Most cases in a young person, it should be self limiting. If it persists beyond a week, i would contact your primary M.D.
