What Causes Headache And Chills Along With Stiffness In Neck?

I have had a severe headache for about 5 days now. I have a stiff neck and chills. Went to the emergency room and I was tested for CT which was negative, the flu again negative, and normal blood work which also was negative. I m thinking of going back. Should I? O they gave me oxycodone to ease the pain.

Hello,

As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.

Generally it will settle in couple of days. If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
