Hi,
Viral infection is the most common reason for the symptoms. The use of the aspirin and a shower (should be in tepid water, if cold- body trembles and temperature goes up) should help.
You can also use paracetamol/tylenol- this can be used along with the aspirin.
Additional symptoms that point to the exact source of the infection may develop and other medications may need to be used.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James,
