Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Looking at the description, it appears that your wife is having prodromal symptoms of infection, particularly water borne.
She needs to get WIDAL test to rule out typhoid. If it is negative, then it could be initial stage of respiratory infection. If she gets symptoms if cough, throat and nasal congestion, then it needs to be treated.
In any case, it needs administration of appropriate antibiotics.
