Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case and I think you are most probably having a viral fever. Bodyache, sore throat and fever is sign of that. As You ate saying that you visited XXXXXXX so you might got that infection there. But evening chills are also favouring malaria. I would suggest you following.
1. Get a malaria tri dot test.
2.Drink plenty of fluid. Take a antibiotics like Ofloxacin.
3. A anti-inflammatory like Nimesulide should be taken twice daily.
4. If malaria tested positive than I would suggest you to take lumerax tablet.
Discuss doses of these drugs with your family doctor. Rest is also needed. Do not travel.
I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
Thanks

Dear doctor,
Find attached further test done. Request you to let me know further course of action. Also i do not not have fever for the last 24 hrs. I did have soar throat until a couple of days back which has now subsided but the throat irritates and wheni cough i see tiny spots of fresh blood. It has been happening since yesterday. Should i worry abt it

Brief Answer:
You might have infection in throat
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your reports and all of them are normal. Sore throat is not completely resolved. I would recommend you to take antibiotics to treat infection. Blood coming through cough is not normal. It is better if you can see the doctor.
