Brief Answer:
consult with your physician
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Headache and fever are commonly caused by infections. Focal infections like sinusitis, meningitis, urinary and ear infections; systemic infections like viral fevers, typhoid and other bacterial infections can also cause chills and headache.
If clinical clues are absent for you to identify the source, he is better taken to a physician for undergoing general examination and some tests if necessary.
Hope this helps.
