HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The most common reason for infection is a viral infection but there are a large number of different viruses that can cause problems.
Paracetamol/tylenol can help reduce the temperature and may also help with the headache and neck pain.
Fluids and rest would also be very important as well.
If you feel very unwell or there is no improvement with the paracetamol , then you should be seen
I hope this helps
