Brief Answer:
Recommend a doctors visit for the following reasons

Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Although a high-grade fever and body aches does point towards a viral infection in most cases; I would still recommend a visit to a doctors office.

Here are my reasons:

1. We can only be sure if it is a viral infection with the help of an elaborate blood panel and if required, associated investigations.

2. Even if it is of viral source, there are so many viral infections that require medical attention and will need a doctors assistance.

3. Many conditions like malaria, dengue fever, etc; can also present similarly and require early diagnosis in order for a rapid and complete recovery.

I hope you can manage to visit your doctor and also hope this is nothing serious, resulting in rapid and complete recovery. Please also do not hesitate to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.

Hi. ma'am.

I understand, and the chills are the best time to give your blood sample for testing, which yields the most accurate result.

But, either way, I hope you understood why I do not think just sitting with it would be a wise idea. Please also do not hesitate to write back to me for any help, I am always here to help and guide you.

Best wishes.
