What Causes Sore Throat, Headache And Body Ache In A 15-year-old?

My 15 year old daughter started complaining of a sore throat last night and today has a sore throat, terrible headache and body aches. She has not had a fever but feels hot and then cold. She has not had any respiratory symptoms, at least so far. She has taken 2 doses of 400mg of ibuprofen without much relief. Is this likely just a viral syndrome of some kind?
