Dear Ms
Headache and body ache are most common accompanying symptoms of flu. In the absence of high grade fever and no urinary complaints there is no cause for concern.
Simple analgesic like Ibuprofen will provide the much needed relief.
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Take care
