For a sudden headache and throat pain, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) or Ibuprofen, which can help alleviate both symptoms. Please follow the dosage instructions on the package. To soothe your throat, drink plenty of warm fluids, rest, and try warm saltwater gargles. If your symptoms persist for more than a few days, or if you develop warning signs like a high fever, difficulty swallowing, or shortness of breath, please consult a doctor in person for a proper evaluation.
