Hello, headache and cervical pain are complicated affairs and not so easy to have a correct diagnosis and the treatment is frequently long term. Though it is a guess but I feel that you may be having chronic tension type headache. You can try the medicine prescribe for 30 days and see the effect. Else visit the doctor again. More important thing is to correctly diagnose headache cause and treat it correctly you need to discuss the following things age at onset of headache, present episode onset, precipitating events headache -frequency onset duration intensity location type of pain, headache triggers premonitory symptoms any aura associated symptoms factors relieving headache headache related investigations any treatment so far present medications.
