What Causes High Fever Along With Headaches And Pain All Over The Body?

I have been running a pretty high fever (anywhere from 101-103) for the past 3 days. I have had an almost constant headache and feel very weak and achy all over. I saw the dr today and they did a flu test which came out negative. Tonight the back of my neck is extremely sore and I m having trouble moving my neck. Do I need to go back to the dr?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

You have high grade fever, headache and pain all over body.

It is commonly seen in viral fever but malaria and other common cause should be ruled out. You should go for complete blood count, test for malaria and dengue. Then you should take treatment accordingly.

You should take a course of antibiotics like amoxiclav or levofloxacin. For fever, headache and body ache you can take paracetamol as and when required.

Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.


Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
