Hello and welcome to HCM.
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.
You have given your clinical history of just 2 days.
You have not mentioned anything about any associated symptoms if present.
From your description,it seems to me bodyache is because of viral flu /physical exertion.
You may have analgesic like acetaminophen or naproxen twice a day for 3 days.
Have plenty of fluids and adequate rest.
If symptoms persists beyond 3 days or you develop fever,headache or any other symptoms,kindly consult physician for detailed clinical examination and investigations accordingly.
Haemogram,peripheral smear,urine routine may be required.
Hope I answered your query.
Thanks and regards.
