Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Head ache, nasal congestion, sore throat, tonsillitis and lump behind uvula are common problem for anybody immaterial whether they are HIV positive or not.
Whether it is related to your immune deficiency or not depends upon your CD4 count. Only after knowing CD4 count only we will be able to tell that whether it has to be concerned or not.
