How To Treat High Fever, Chills And Severe Muscle Pain?
Im a 36 year old male. I woke up Saturday morning with a high fever, and a burning sensation/pain in the stomach. Then about 24 hours later, my fever is still high 103-104, and now I have a very sore throat and bad muscle pain in my legs and buttocks. I can get the fever to go down with ibprophen, but after a couple of hours, it goes right back up. I have had the chills also. I just feel really bad period.

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having severe viral infection affecting muscles of body and throat.
This will remain for few days.
Take complete rest.
Take ibuprofen, paracetamol combination as needed for few days.
Take plenty of water and liquids.
Take light diet.
Ok and take care.
