Brief Answer:

Urinary tract infection which might have affected the kidneys.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

What you are describing seems like a urinary tract infection which might have affected the kidneys.

I would recommend that you consider doing a urine micro-analyses and culture sensitivity study to confirm that. If that is the case, you will need to start antibiotics as soon as possible because the infection may spread further.

Meanwhile, drink plenty of fluids.
The headache is probably because of the fever and it has stopped because of the fever being controlled by Aleve.

If worse or not better, I would recommend seeing a local doctor as soon as possible.

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care

Regards,
