After a head injury, a strong headache and two days of trouble rotating or moving the head regularly could be caused by a concussion, neck injury, muscle strain, or, in rare cases, a more serious brain issue. For relief, rest, avoid abrupt neck movements, drink plenty of water, and apply a cold or warm compress softly. However, it is crucial to consult a doctor for a thorough assessment because the symptoms have persisted for two days following the incident. If you experience vomiting, lightheadedness, drowsiness, blurred vision, weakness, disorientation, or a worsening headache, get medical help right away.
