Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The head ache and sore throat can be secondary to the bacterial infection of the maxillary or fronta sinuses. Nothing to be panic, consul an ENT surgeon and get it evaluated. Mean while along with motrin you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin (if you are not allergic), Take steam inhalation.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
