Aching muscles but no fever?

I seem to have a virus and am wondering whether it’s a chest infection or sinusitis or something else!

Symptoms include:

Overwhelming feeling of exhaustion - every muscle aches and I feel as if I’ve been hit by a bus.

Post nasal drip

Persistent cough but not a lot of mucus coming up

Earache and ringing in ears

Mild pain in forehead, eyes and front of face.

I was a bit shivery earlier but otherwise don’t seem to have a fever.

I’m really worried that it’s a chest infection due to cough (last time I had one I ended up with pneumonia!), but am wondering whether it’s just something like sinusitis instead. I really want to be well in time for Christmas!

Can anyone help diagnose it?

Oh and o have a slightly rough feeling throat and a slightly raw upper chest area if that makes any sense!
