General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello
I understand your concern.

Severe headache,chills,nausea can be due to meningitis/vector borne disease like malaria,dengue/migraine.

Basically,absence of fever would rule out infectious disease and point more towards migraine.
If you have nasal congestion/cough/sore throat,sinusitis is possibilty.
It has nothing to do with arthritis of neck.
I recommend you to visit general physician to have your detailed physical examination followed by certain investigation.
Management depends upon the cause.

Hope I answered your query.
Any further query are welcome.Wish you good health.
