What Causes Fever Along With Sore Throat,body Aches And Fatigue?

Good Day, I have been sick for close to a week with what has been flu-like symptoms. I m quite healthy and figured Id power through with fluids, rest, fever reducers, Etc. I have suddenly gone from a 100+ fever to a subnormal 96.5-97.7 and the symptoms (aches,chills,sore throat that feels like Ive gargled broken glass,fatigue, no appetite) have all doubled in intensity since the temperature drop in my body. The hospitals call lines are useless because they cant give medical advice on the phone and I live so far from a hospital that an ER visit for something that will clear up by tomorrow is unfeasible. Could someone possibly give me some advice on if I should pack up and go to the ER? Thank you for your time. EAK
