Does Zika Virus Cause Headaches Along With Body Ache And Low Grade Fever?

I started out with a really bad cod, which turned onto a sinus infection and was prescribed a prescription of amoxicillin. after taking the entire prescription I felt decent for a day, then woke up the next 5 mornings in a row with a cough, terrible headache, achy body, experiencing chills and a low grade fever in the evenings. The headache is now gone, but the cough is worse than ever. Does this sound like the Zica Virus?
