Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your symptoms of headache cold rigors joint pains mild temperature I am suggesting possible conditions
Malaria
Typhoid fever
Drug reaction
Sepsis
Streptococcus infection can not be overlooked in spite of normal throat involvement so please do the following test
Malaria parasite test
Widal test
Blood culture
Meanwhile please take tablet Tylenol tablet multivitamin capsules tablet nurofen tablet ceporex(antibiotic)
I hope this helps Regards
