Hi,

Noted your history of fever with chills, feeling like flu for a few weeks now, fatigue, muscle aches and so on. More than few weeks means this can be a serious problem. The causes can be one of the many such as liver abscess or abscess in concealed spaces like lung can give similar symptoms, malaria, typhoid and such general disease.

Hence, I would advise you the following:
- Consult a doctor for proper clinical evaluation, examination and investigations:
* Blood for CBC
* Liver and kidney functions
* Diabetes and as advised.
* X-ray chest and Ultrasound of abdomen
* Blood culture and sensitivity.

All these will help to get the exact cause and thus get treated specifically for the cause thus found. Take rest. Full diet.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
