Brief Answer:
Electrolyte loss is cause of tiredness
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear.Thanks for giving me an opportunity to answer your query.
I am happy that you have recovering well.
According to me feverishness is seen because of 3 reasons:
a. Infection is of viral origin
b. You are in the period of convalescence
c. Medication is yet be completed
However the signs of recovery and wellbeing that you have reported gives a positive clue that the infection is subsiding and the minimal infection which is still there is manifesting as feverishness and tiredness.I were to suggest you to complete the course and you shall definitely see a full recovery and fantastic improvement.
Tiredness is because the electrolytes are probably low.Advise with Oral rehydration solution(2 lt/day for 3 days) to compensate for the loss of electrolytes.Have plenty of oral fluids,fresh fruits and salads for a faster replenishment of body electrolyte stores.
Hope this answers your query.Get well soon.

Feverishness can be due to an elevated thyroid hormone levels.Have you got a recent thyroid profile done?
I were also recommend a CRP test.Though it is non-specific elevated levels gives rough idea of underlying condition which have to be further evaluated and identified.
