thanks for posting your query to HCM.
headache with fever could be due to some viral or bacterial infection or sinus problem . I suggest you to take some decongestant tablet and NSAIDS like paracetamol or acetamenophen to relieve symptoms during your journey . after that consult to a ENT surgeon and get complete examination and further management .
