Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting the question.
I have gone through your question in detail and understand your concern.
From the symptoms that you have mentioned,it does seem that these are pre-flu symptoms. Body ache,malaise,nauseating feeling and headache are almost always indicative of a viral infection / flu.
I suggest you to take complete bed rest.
Maintain good hydration by drinking plenty of water.
Though you have nausea,still make it a point to have food in small divided doses. Eat more fruits and salads.
Take paracetamol and analgesic tablets like ibuprofen for pain.
Check your temperature every 3 hourly and maintain a temperature chart and assess the progress of the symptoms.
You should be fine in 2-3 days.
If symptoms do not improve within 3 days,then you need to see a physician and get complete blood count,blood culture and other necessary investigations done to rule out causes like typhoid,urinary tract infection etc.
I hope the answer was useful.
Feel free to consult me anytime for any doubts regarding the answer.
Thank you.
Wish you a speedy recovery.
