Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

In case of chest , stomach and back pain there can be a number causes and the presentation doesn't signify a specific condition alone. EKG should be done to rule out the possibility of a cardiac cause for the chest pain. The non specific malaise and generalized aches/ pains, fever point largely towards an infective cause. It could be viral or bacterial. The physical exam would be require to isolate a focus of infection e.g upper or lower respiratory, G.I etc. Investigations including chest x ray, CBC, ESR, urinalysis, Typhidot antibodies should be advised based on the history and physical. Treatment would depend on the cause evident in the investigations in consultation with your doctor.

Wishing you best of health

Thanks
