You should probably get it checked out by a doctor soon. It may be nothing, but there is a variety of things that may cause headaches that a doctor could help with.

You're a 17 year old male. The cure for your headache is less alcohol. The cure for your sore arm is a girlfriend.
I believe it says right on the advil case that if symptoms persist for more than a week you should contact a doctor. If your symptoms persist for more than a week, contact a doctor.

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 available at

it could be caused by stress or hormones or dietary deficiency - it could be a type of migraine - or (unlikely) could indicate another more serious condition. If the headache has lasted that long with limited improvement after taking otc meds I'd recommend seeing your primary care doctor.
