Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to occipital neuralgia. I suggest using painkillers such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain.
If the symptoms continue you should consult your doctor about prescription medication such as Gabapentin or Pregabalin.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
