Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Fever With Shivering And Post Fever Aches?
I was fine all day yesterday but when I went to bed last night, I was shivering even though it was very warm in the room (according to other people in the room). Throughout the night I developed a very high fever and my whole body was really really warm. I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and get water, and could barely walk because I felt so weak. I couldn't pick up the water pitcher with one hand because my muscles were so weak, and I could barely grip on to anything. I slept for about 12 hours, and now my fever is mostly gone but my entire body still aches. What do you think this is?
Your symptoms are indicative for possible common viral infection.
I advise to: - take more rest - drink more fluids (tea, water, juice, etc.) - have light meals (chicken breast soup or yoghurt) - take OTC pain killer or flu medication to relieve the aches - take vit.C supplement to increase body energy to fight infection.
If no improvement within a week or the symptoms will get worse, should consult with your physician for further evaluations.
Wish fast recovery! Dr.Albana
