I've got a sore throat.
I've got a cough.
Do I have to concentrate on the meaning of "headache," "sore throat" and "cough" as new words for students or is there anything more that can be difficult for them?
Thanks in advance for your help.

In my opinion, they may think that someone saying
I've got a headache/sore throat/cough actually possesses a
headache/sore throat/cough, which is obviously not true. This use of
have got is something to do with
experiencing something.
