Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of fever with extreme fatigue this seems to be viral fever or flu. As per your complain constipation can occur due to a number of causes like sudden change in dietary habits,excess intake of dairy products,excess intake of antacids,eating disorders, lack of dietary fibres .Drink plenty of fluids, have proper rest. You should take muscle relaxant as well. You can take stool softeners like Docusate. Take more of green leafy vegetables and fruits. You can also be advised prescription medicines like Lubiprostone or Linclotide.If condition doesn't get well then consult gastroenterologist for proper examination and treatment .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
