What Causes Fever, Nausea, Body Aches And Vomiting?
29 yr old male, fever (highest was yesterday with 102.9) now it's been around 101.6 when I take tylenol or motrin. Switching on and off w/tylenol & motrin every 6 hrs. Once fever is back I get very bad headaches and neck pain. I've had a fever since Thursday (4 days now). Drinking plenty of fluids, and I have been exhibiting nausea, body aches (when i have fever), sleeping a lot and feel lethargic, and vomited last night. I was given Tamiflu in case the rapid test was incorrect. Urinalysis sent out yesterday, I know I had trace of blood in urine but she doesn't think it's a kidney infection. Help. If it is the flu how long can it last?

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
As per your symptoms and descriptions,you might be having urinary tract infection or acute gastroenteritis.
You must need to get evaluated for further clinical examination and routine blood works,ESR,urinalysis and ultrasound andomen.
You may require to take antipyretics,antibiotics(quinolones or cephalosporins group),antiemetics and fluid and electrolyte balance.
You should see general physician who will know all the tests and can prescribe you the right treatment.
