HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The generalized pain and sore throat may indicate that you have the flu though other infections can cause generalized pain.
Other flu symptoms may develop as well eg nasal congestion, sneezing, cough
The use of paracetamol, fluids and rest may help. If the paracetamol is not enough then you can use alternative pain medication.
If the symptoms are severe then you may need to be reviewed by your doctor.
I hope this helps
