At the risk of sounding like my Mother, you're Coming Down With Something. Can you neck a couple of paracetomol, a big bastard multivitamin and hunker down for the afternoon with DD?

Have taken paracetomol and now the kids want me to play monopoly.

early stages of flu?
some other virus?
Take ibuprofen if you can instead - it's an anti-inflammatory, which paracetamol isn't, and will help with the muscle pain better.

I have asthma and had been told I can't take anti-whatits.

oh, that's a shame. I didn't realise they were contraindicated in asthma - how very bloody annoying for you!
Have you got any muscle rub stuff that you can use? Ralgex, tiger balm, anything like that? Get that into your shoulders - actually, tiger balm would be good for your headache too (or will that set off your asthma too - I don't know?)
If your shoulders are very stiff, they could be making your neck stiff and tight which could actually have given you the headache - but not the cough.
