Hello,
Dehydration can cause lightheadedness and weakness. You have to increase the intake of fluids in any form like water, lemonade or coconut water. Take at least five to seven liters of water in a day. You have said that you also had a sore throat so your symptoms can also be due to flu. If you experience any rise in the temperature, you should get yourself checked by a physician. Meanwhile, take rest and keep yourself hydrated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
