Hi Anon,
Plan B can cause changes to your period. But if you are concerned about being pregnant, you should considered taking a home pregnancy test.

Hi Anon,
Welcome to EmpowHER. According to Plan B, Some women may experience mild side effects, similar to those of regular birth control pills. The most common include: include changes in your period, nausea, lower abdominal pain, fatigue, headache, dizziness, and breast tenderness. After taking Plan B® One-Step, women should be informed that their next period may be heavier or lighter, earlier or later. Fever and sore throat can be due to a cold, but I don't think it has to do with Plan B.
Here are some resources for you
