Hello,
It might be a muscle pain in a viral condition. Thus, if you have runny nose muscles pain light fever this is mostly the cause. Yet, if you have cough with phlegm and fever, it is better to do a chest X-ray to exclude pneumonia. Please discuss with your doctor for this.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
