Brief Answer:
It can be a viral infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I agree with this. Virosis or flu usually causes headache. The fact that you have been sneezing and coughing it can be a viral respiratory infection .
Also sinusitis or inflammation of nasal sinuses can cause the headache mainly while sneezing or coughing.
Taking anti-inflammatory drugs such acetaminophen or ibuprofen can be helpful.
You may feel better in 3 to 5 days.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
