General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Based on your description, you should consider being assessed by your doctor. Fever, malaise, abdominal pain, muscle cramps, weakness can be due to different illnesses such as: (1) infection- viral or bacterial are more common
(2)severe trauma
(3)rarely some types of cancer

It would be best to be seen. In addition to a complete history of symptoms, physical examination and blood tests would also be needed as well to determine the cause of your symptoms.

Blood tests may include a complete blood count and ESR (the ESR assesses for inflammation in the body).
Any additional bloods would be done based on the symptoms present.

Treatment would depend on the cause found.

I hope this helps
