Hurts to swallow, nasal congestion with light yellow/clear mucus and light headache. what could it be?

Head cold: It sounds as if you're developing an upper respiratory infection, otherwise known as a head cold. Fluids, rest and tylenol (acetaminophen) should see you through the worst of it. If not, see your doctor.
