Likely to be a viral infection.

Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
It appears that you could be having possible Viral fever which is supported by headache, feeling feverish, weakness.
Fever is when temperature is 100 degree farenheit or more usually. Normal body temperature is usually 98.6 degree farenheit.
Usually viral fevers will subside on their own within a week or two unless they get complicated.
Keep well hydrated with plenty of warm fluids and especially fruit juices.
Keep warm, avoid exposure to cold as this could aggravate the problem.
Eat plenty of fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables. Eat high protein diet like cereals, pulses, chicken, lean meat, eggs.
Do continue with the treatment that you are already taking. In case the symptoms aggravate then do consult your physician for stronger prescription medicines.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
