Headache. Medication Taken. But Having Body Aches Followed By Fever. Consult Online Doctor.
Hello I have had a bad headache for the past 4 days . It comes and goes when I take Tylenol or ibuprofen it feels better for a little while . I am also feeling body aches similar to those experienced with the flu. I don't have a runny nose, soar throat or cough. I had a slight fever today for the first time. What is going on?

Hi,
You seems to have viral fever that can produce headache,body ache and fever.
You need to have plenty of fluids, antipyretics round the clock(4-6 times) as per fever and short course antibiotics to treat secondary bacterial infection.
However if headache persists you need to consult neurologist and get evaluated for same.Also need to rule out meningitis
Hope this will help you
