What Causes Fever, Chills, Body Aches And Headaches?
Hi. I had anal sex with my boyfriend and now, i am experiencing fever, chills, body aches, a horrible, horrible headache and fatigue. I also feel super dehydrated even though I m drinking plenty of water. This has been constant for the last 3 days. I have been taking acetaminophen to break my fever and it works, but my fever always comes back. The fever has also gotten higher every day. It s up to 102.9 today. What is wrong? I feel awful.

Hello,
Fever, chills, body aches and headache can be due to viral infection. I suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment and hence treatment. Acetaminophen can lead to relieve fever.
