Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Sore throat is most commonly caused by bacteria and viruses. I suggest you try salt water gargles to relive the pain in throat. You can take over the counter pain killers for the headache. Stomach sickness is suggestive of stomach flu. Get in touch with your GP for a prescription of antibiotics to control the infection in throat. Take fluid diet. Drink warm water. Thanks.
