Brief Answer:
May be psychological .

Detailed Answer:
All out mosquito repellents contain mostly Prallethrin. Prallethrin is a synthetic insecticide chemically related to pyrethroids.
Ingestion of pyrethroid causes nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dizziness, headache, fatigue, palpitation, tightness in chest and blurring of vision. Coma, convulsions and pulmonary oedema are uncommon but can occur in severe poisoning.
There is no specific antidote for pyrethroid toxicity, therefore management is only symptomatic and supportive. I assume you have tried self decontamination by vomiting. Fever is not a side effect of all out, it may be psychological. You may need a course of antibiotics and paracetamol. I would advise you consult the nearest emergency facility or multispeciality hospital in your area where the doctors can thoroughly assess you and investigate you for complications. They can start injections and medications which can eliminate the poison from your blood faster and prevent complications.
Get back to me in case of any doubts.
Regards
