Hi,

Thanks for the query.

As you have been travelling, fatigue, temperature, chills and headaches could be due to Viral, Bacterial or parasitic infections like malaria if travelling from malaria endemic region. Viral fevers usually lasts for 4 to 7 days.

If temperature less than 100 F and comfortable then take complete best rest, keep yourself hydrated and have healthy diet. This should improve your immune system.

If temperature more than 101 F or uncomfortable or dehydrated then you need to see a Local GP for investigation and treatment.

Hope I answered your query. If any further questions, will be happy to help you.
