What Causes Sore Throat ,fever And Pounding Headache?

I was diagnosed with tonsilitis 2 days ago and have been given Clarithromycin 500 mg. antibiotics. I have a fever and a pounding headache on the top on my head just a bit back from my temple. I am coughing up phlegm (green) and feel frozen and unable to get heat into my body. I have a constant metal taste in my mouth. My mouth and throat are sore and my tongue feels like it is burning around the tip edge on the left side. I have never felt like this before, ever. Can you tell me what you think?
