Hi,
Thank you for contacting Healthcare magic.
The above symptoms could occur in a person recovering from an infection. Symptoms could most likely represent a post-viral infection recovery phase.
During this period, body pain (myalgia) and fatigue are common.
Recovery usually occurs in a few days in most cases.
She could take symptomatic treatment at this stage. For fever, paracetamol 500 mg (upto 4-6 tablets in a day) may be given and for dizziness, beta histine (16 mg three times daily) may be used.
At this stage, one can wait till the reports come in, before taking any other action.
Please get back for any follow up queries.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM
