Brief Answer:
It needs early medical attention

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
I am Dr Aslam here to help you.

All your symptoms are suggestive of some systemic infection going on,which need early treatment with antibiotics and other supportive measures.
To have a clear idea about the treatment needed,we need to get the present vital values and localize the infection with a detailed physical examination and some investigations.
In such cases in my clinic,after starting on empirical antibiotics,I will ask for investigations like a urine and blood routine examination.Depending on the results and response to empirical therapy,we may need further investigations like serological studies,blood culture,urine culture,CSF study etc.
Your doctor will guide you through diagnosis and treatment.Meanwhile,continue taking rest,adequate fluids,a light diet rich in fruits and veges.

Hope I have answered your query.If you have further questions,I will be happy to help.Thank you.
