Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have headache, fever, stiff neck, muscle pain and aluminium taste in mouth . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like medication reaction or side-effect , viral pharyngitis , sinusitis , aseptic meningitis , viral infection or sunburn . I would suggest you to drink plenty of water , stop taking any new medicine if your have started recently , take benadryl twice a day and take paracetamol for fever . Consult general practitioner for proper examination . Doctor may order blood test , check vitals and take history to confirm the diagnosis .
