HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that you have a viral infection that is causing your symptoms.
Upper respiratory tract infections (common cold) would cause headaches and sore throat.
The flu can also cause these symptoms but they are usually severe (joint pain, muscle pain).
The use of paracetamol or ibuprofen can help with pain. Throat sprays such as covonia, chloroseptic or diflam may also help with the throat discomfort.
I hope this helps
