What Causes Fever With Shivering And Post Fever Aches?

I was fine all day yesterday but when I went to bed last night, I was shivering even though it was very warm in the room (according to other people in the room). Throughout the night I developed a very high fever and my whole body was really really warm. I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and get water, and could barely walk because I felt so weak. I couldn't pick up the water pitcher with one hand because my muscles were so weak, and I could barely grip on to anything. I slept for about 12 hours, and now my fever is mostly gone but my entire body still aches. What do you think this is?

Hi,

I am sorry for the health situation you are in.

Your symptoms are indicative for possible common viral infection.

I advise to:
- take more rest
- drink more fluids (tea, water, juice, etc.)
- have light meals (chicken breast soup or yoghurt)
- take OTC pain killer or flu medication to relieve the aches
- take vit.C supplement to increase body energy to fight infection.

If no improvement within a week or the symptoms will get worse, should consult with your physician for further evaluations.

Wish fast recovery!
Dr.Albana
