As per your complain the symptoms of
sore throat,irritated ears, joint aches,chills cough along with tenderness on cheekbones and neck pain are all appearing consistent with Viral infection that can be severe upper
respiratory tract infection or can be due to Influenza or flu..
It seems most probably be due to Influenza..
As it is a viral infection, the symptoms will resolve once the virus completes its cycle in human body..
You can start taking symptomatic treatment to relieve discomfort caused due to symptoms..
You can take a combination of
Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen to relieve aches and pains and also will reduce rise in body temperature, if it occurs..
Take anti allergics like Benadryl,decongestants like
Phenylephrine and cough suppressant containing
