Hi,
Persistent headache even after taking pain killers more than 2 weeks should be investigated. I would suggest you to take an MRI or CT brain to detect any vascular abnormalities like hemorrhage or arteritis. Any history of fever, vomiting and visual problems should be ruled out.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
