Brief Answer:
URTI.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
It seems that you are suffering from An Upper Respiratory Tract infection (URTI).
The pain in head is common during coughing due to pressure over the sinuses.
I advice following in such cases:
1. Antibiotics like Azithromycin which help in fighting the infection.
2. Anti Allergic like Levocetrizine which would also help in controlling the cough.
3. Paracetamol for fever and body aches.
4. You should do warm saline gargles and do steam inhalation for the same that would help you greatly.
See your doctor and share my opinion with him.
I hope it helps you.
If you have any further query, please ask me.
