What Causes Fever, Chills, Body Aches, Abdominal Pain, Excessive Sweating And Headaches?
Brief Answer:
Bacterial infection
Detailed Answer:
Dear sir,
I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns, it seems that ibuprofen tablets have caused you gastric upset, I would recommend that you replace ibuprofen with acetaminophen to relieve the fever and aches.
However, fever indicates that you have an infection which could be either viral or bacterial but since you have been sick since Sunday then it is probably a bacterial infection that will require an antibiotic.
For the gastric pain, you should take an antispasmodic as visceralgine together with an antacid as ranitidine before every meal.
I hope I answered your question , if you don't have any other clarifications then please close the discussion.
