Hi,
Where was the bite? These symptoms may be related to the tick bite, especially if the bite was around head and neck area. Can be a usual pharyngitis also. Kindly see your doctor for assessment. Meanwhile you can take Acetaminophen tablets to relieve pain and headache.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
