Hi I Was In A Car Accident Two Weeks Ago

Since the symptoms are persistent you should get reevaluated.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor " service.
I have read your query.
CT scan is the appropriate imaging study when it comes to head and brain injury in the first days.
MRI is reserved for cases that the CT scan results are inconclusive regarding the diagnosis, or, in cases of spinal cord injury.
If you had bleeding in the CT scan the diagnosis is clear and includes traumatic brain injury.
In such case treatment and observation in hospital for few days is necessary.
For the neck pain, besides pain medication, you can use a soft cervical collar for a couple of weeks.
Since you are experiencing neck pain and your symptoms are persisting, an MRI of your cervical spine and brain may be of value in regards of the diagnosis two weeks after trauma.
Discuss with your Doctor for these issues.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
