What Causes Extreme Headache, Neck Stiffness And Nasal Congestion?

I am just trying to track my symptoms to see if what I have is something I should be worried about because of my 2 yr old daughter. My symptoms include: Extreme Headache, neck stiffness on the back of my neck, bad nasal congestion that has been happening for about a week now, and all the other symptoms just develope in the last day, the congestion is like way deep in my sinus s and I cant just blow my nose to clear it, and its like I am swallowing big clumps of mucus all day.. very gross, whenever I do cough it up it is green, mild cough, nothing serious, my eyes are watering and swollen, and my body aches, and I have had the chills for 2 days off and on, and my temp has stayed at 100.1 for 2 days now as well, my head including my ears are just stuffed up so bad, its like I can barely hear, and nausea comes and goes but I never actually vomit. I can still eat so my appetite is not totally gone, just not normal...... is this just the regular flu????
