Hi,
Welcome to HCM!

Sorry to hear about your condition.

From your description, it appears that you are most likely suffering from a viral fever, which is often associated with bodyaches and headache. It is common during this time due to changes in weather.

However, in case your fever is associated with chills and rigor, I'd suggest you to undergo certain blood investigations to rule out malaria or dengue (in case you are living in an endemic area).

As for the fever, I'd suggest you to take an anti-pyretic like Paracetamol for fever and an potent analgesic like Diclofenac to get relief from bodyaches. Also, do take an antacid as these drugs are known to cause acidity.

Hope this information helps. Feel free to ask if you have any doubt.

Wishing you a speedy recovery,
With regards,
Dr. Sridhar Reddy
