Stiff neck : After traumatic head injury the best medication is Naproxen sodium twice a day with food to protect the stomach. If headache persists past three weeks make sure to see a headache specialist to start a preventative treatment. If new symptoms occur you best go to er to rule out intracranial pathology.
