Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your father is having viral fever since last one month which is due to poor immunity and increased susceptibility of body and making prone to getting infected. It seems infection has already spread. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take proper antiviral medication course such as Acyclovir in combination with Ibuprofen/ Acetaminophen. Visit general physician once and get it examined. You should take proper rest as body pain is due to viral fever. You should get routine blood test done and start treatment after proper diagnosis.Do tepid sponging for immediate relief as you having high degree fever. Normally viral fever take 7-10 days duration to get recovered. Avoid oily and sharp food. Drink plenty of fluids.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
