What Causes Body Ache,fatigue And Fever?

yesterday I suddenly developed body aches and fatigue, and last night woke up with a fever that lasted a few hours. There was no nausea. Today I feel ok, just tired. Was that a viral infection?-- Felt like the flu coming on but I didn't get sick to my stomach.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

The history and symptoms suggests me that you are having some viral infection which is causing fever,body aches and fatigue.

As your symptoms lasted for few hours which was not associated with nausea and vomiting suggest that you had some flu like symptoms of viral origin. Most of the viral infections are self limiting and it will subside by itself.

As your symptoms have lasted for few hours it will subside gradually.For your symptoms, I would suggest you to follow
1.Drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration.
2.Eat food rich in proteins.
3.Take oral Ibuprofen to reduce the fever and the pain.
4.Tab Rantac to prevent the acute gastritis.

These measures will subside your symptoms and improve your condition.
Thank you.
