HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The source or cause of the infection needs to be determined.

The treatment would depend on the cause.

She needs to consider going to her doctor for an assessment. Her doctor will take a history to find out if there are any other symptoms that may point to a diagnosis.
With fever and aches/pains , it may be due to a viral illness such as the flu, dengue, though there are other causes as well.

I hope this helps

Hi,
It seems that she might be having viral infection giving this problem.
Give her paracetamol or ibuprofen as needed for fever.
Give her plenty of water.
Give her light food.
If fever persisted then she might require some investigations like,
complete blood testing, TC, DC, platelet count etc.
Routine urine check up.
After report your doctor will go for appropriate treatment.
