Brief Answer:
Headache or meningitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
It sound like a headache, but unfortunately it could be something worse like meningitis. If you're having fevers you should go to the closet emergency room. You can try Tylenol and ibuprofen in the meantime. Increase your fluid and try to rest in a dark quiet room.
