Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe headaches, fever and neck pain this seems to be viral fever or flu. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to prevent fever and body-ache , drink plenty of fluids, have proper rest , take analgesic such as Flexon and take light diet. In viral infection rest is most important thing you can do . Your symptoms will resolve in 5-7 days. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit general physician once and get it examined to rule out other causes and start treatment after proper examination and prescription. Go for blood tests as well to find out exact pathology. Doctor may refer you to orthopedic surgeon for neck pain and neurologist for migraine type of problem .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
