Hello,
You may be suffering from acute viral infection along with migraine or it may be sinus headache with fever or other causes like meningism or malaria etc.
You have to get it done a complete blood count, neurological examination.
Use tablet paracetamol thrice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved or developed an allergy to above drug please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
