Some: Concern. Your symptoms sound very much like flu or cold symptoms. If they continue for longer than 3-4 days or if you have new symptoms be seen. Otherwise treat your current symptoms. All the best and I hope you feel better.

Sounds like sinus: Does sound like you may have a sinus infection- especially if the teeth that hurt are upper teeth, but cannot tell for sure. Get to a Dr. right away to be examined.
