Hi.
Welcome to HealthCare Magic. Thank you for posting your query.
I can understand your concern.

It would have been great had I examined you on my own .The fever with chills , stomach cramp and back pain could having malaria or dengue or typhoid .
Do not worry.

I would suggest yo to

- Get a blood haemoglobin , total count, NS1 Antigen (dengue) , malaria dual antigen , Widal test (typhoid)
- Check you blood pressure
- Drink loads of water to prevent dehydration
- Get a Electrocardiogram done to rule out any cardiac pathology for the chest pain.
- I would start tablet Paracetamol . Your doctor can guide on the exact dosage.

I would also suggest you to visit a physician. He/she can examine you and correlate clinically.

Write back to us.
Regards.
