Welcome to HCM.
I notice and understand your concern and would like to tell you that severe viral infection can lead to decrease in body salts,Vitamins and other nutrients which are providing energy to body to fight infections.
Decrease in these body reserves can lead to tingling and pricking sensation which now you are complaining.
So would advice you to tale some multivitamin medication like B complex capsules,drink plenty of oral fluids,Keep your body well hydrated,have a light diet for the time being and have rest for 2-3 days.
For headache any crocin like analgesic would do.
Hope i answered your queries.
Take rest.
Be healthy
