For a continuous headache lasting 4 to 5 days, you can try over-the-counter pain relievers like Paracetamol (500mg) or Ibuprofen (400mg) taken with food. However, because this headache is persistent and covers your entire head, do not overuse these medications to avoid rebound headaches. I highly recommend consulting a doctor to find the root cause. Please seek immediate emergency medical care if you experience "red flag" symptoms such as a stiff neck, fever, confusion, vision changes, difficulty speaking, numbness, or if this is the most severe headache you have ever experienced.
