What Causes Severe Body Pain , Fatigue And Fever?

Hello, For the past year, there are times I feel very feverish, but I am not actually running a fever. It comes with the symptoms such as fatigue and body aches, but no fever. Recently, I ve had a fever twice in the past two or three weeks that have lasted for two days at a time. At this moment I am running a fever of 100.5 and I am growing concerned with my health. Thank you so much for your help

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. A diagnostic work up will be necessary to rule out the cause of fever. Complete blood count , ESR and urine routine should be done. Malarial parasite should be ruled out by peripheral smear while having high fever. Sputum AFB or chest x ray should be taken to rule out TB. In case of any inflammatory process ESR will be raised. Another reason can be due to allergy (hay fever) and such case eosinophils will be raised. By finding and managing the cause your fever will come down. Better to consult a physician dealing with infectious diseases.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
