Sounds like you: Are getting a viral infection. Cold? Flu? Take it easy, rest, lots of fluids. Tylenol (acetaminophen) for aches & fever. Or nyquil (will make you sleepy) you're probably contagious so try not to expose others. Cover your cough. Wash hands often. Try gargling w 1 tbsp salt dissolved in warm water. Chicken soup (seriously) hot lemonade w honey can be soothing. I love thai soup when i feel like this.

Sinus Infection: This could be a number of things from the flu, to a cold to a sinus infection. If you also have a specific tooth that is hurting, it could be infected as well. You probably would be best seen by your physician if the symptoms worsen or are not better in a day or two unless you have the toothache and then your dentist could take care of it.
