Hello .
Thanks for posting your query.
Your symptoms are most likely suggestive of an infection either viral or parasitic, less likely bacterial.
It is advisable that you consult a physician for a thorough evaluation and confirmation of diagnosis. Some blood tests may be required as per the findings of clinical examination, like complete blood counts and smear etc. The treatment would depend on the cause.
Most viral infections resolve in a week with symptomatic treatment like antipyretics for fever like Tylenol, analgesics for pain like ibuprofen and a multivitamin supplement once daily.
But if its due to any other cause then the symptoms may worsen with time and not be resolved
with symptomatic treatment. In that case, appropriate antibiotics need to be started as per your
doctors prescription.
So I would advise you to please consult your physician to be on the safer side.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
