What Causes Constant Headache And Fever Despite Taking Medication?

Hi, Since yesterday I have had this heavy head, with slight headache and low fever. I took a paracetamol yesterday but I don t think it has helped. Today morning I woke up with the same feeling. Is it the onset of a flu? What medications should I take? Thanks.
