Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic,

You can use OTC available Paracetamol (Dolo 650) thrice a day. It takes for a while to get relief from symptoms continue those pills for 2 days. If you dont get relief with that you better get checked from your local Physician.
Viral fever may be the cause for your symptoms.
