Hi..Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

As per symptoms, you might be suffering from fever causing sore throat & sinusitis. Muscle pain are due to fever & headache is due to sinusitis. Following remedies can be done
1..Salt Water Gargle- Mix 1 tsp of salt with warm water in a glass. Gargle for roughly 15-20 seconds and spit out. You can repeat this as needed for 2-3 days. Remember to spit the water rather swallowing it.
2.Steam inhalation would help to reduce sinusitis & associated headache
3. You should also take augmentin 625 OR azithromycin 500 twice a day for 5 days .
Take anti-inflammatory medicine like acetaminophen/ibuprofen . It will reduce fever and body pain
5.Take warm liquid diet, drink plenty of water & Take rest.

You would start improving in 3 to 4 days.If problem persist visit a ENT specialist

Hope this information helps.
Get well soon.
