Hi,
These symptoms could indicate you are developing an infection. The commonest source would be either a urinary or chest infection.
I suggest you take paracetamol for your headache and drink plenty of water. Rest if possible. If you develop any symptoms suggestive of either urinary or chest infection, such as pain on passing urine, loin pain or a cough with sputum, then see you doctor for a possible course of antibiotics.
Alternatively, this may be a viral infection which will settle without antibiotics.
I wish you a speedy recovery.
