Brief Answer:
Dehydration

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

You seem to have symptoms of mild to moderate dehydration.
You should consume on non caffeinated beverages especially Oral rehydration salts or lemon water with salt and sugar.
You should feel alright by doing the above at least 5 to 6 times a day. Avoid caffeine, alcohol and smoking (if you smoke or take alcohol). Rest and stay at home.
Gargling with DISPRIN in 100ml of water can help sorethroat and headache if you are not allergic to it. Others get corrected as you do above.

Note: Consult an experienced Otolaryngologist / ENT Specialist online for further follow up on ear, nose, and throat issues - Book a Call now.
