General & Family Physician 's  Response
Cold should not last for four weeks.
So this is not a cold, that is for sure.
I would like that you should take two tablets of tylenol as required for the headache.
You should also be seen again by your doctor to rule out other conditions that may be causing this headache and neck pain.
One of the most common causes of neck pain and headache is stress or anxiety.
