Headaches for six days? Fairly mild but sometimes sharp?

Question

I've been getting this constant headache for going on my sixth day now. I've tried Advil and Sinus Medicine, but neither of those worked. I live in Phoenix, is there something going around? Or could this be something more serious?

Answer 1

Is your jaw sore (grinding your teeth at night) when you wake up or do you notice you jaw cracking when you open wide (TMJ)? Is your nose plugged up when you wake up (allergies)?
Make an appointment with your doctor. They will probaby give you a pain killer and anti-depressent.

Answer 2

Headache is a pain in the head, scalp or neck. Headaches can be
caused by minor problems like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more
serious reasons like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and
meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can have harmful side
effects, so it is better to modify your lifestyle. More information
