Brief Answer:
Possibly related to the infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms and in my opinion, your symptoms are due to the infection. Infections, as minor as they are in your case, can lead to weakness and exhaustion, as they occurred at the same time.
Treatment would include medications such as diclofenac or ibuprofen tablets for relief of headache.
For gaining strength, you can take a good diet, rich in proteins and carbohydrates. You can take 5-6 small meals at more frequent intervals.
Taking adequate rest/sleep at night coupled with 20-30 minutes of mild exercises would also help you recover.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
