Body Pain, Fever After Donating Blood Using Alyx Machine. Taking Multivitamin. Cure For Symptoms?

Hello. I donated blood two days ago using the ALYX machine and have since experienced body aches, head aches, and a constant fever. I have been donating blood for years, though this is my first time donating using the ALYX machine and I have never experienced any physiological distress before this session. My blood pressure seems to stay within a healthy range, though this constant lethargy couple with head aches and fever has drained me. I take a multivitamin and have boosted with Vitamin C. What are my available options aside from waiting out these symptoms?

HI
Thank for asking question to HCM
No need to worry first of all read the body temperature at least thrice i n day ( Hg thermometer ) if it read normal below the red arrow then you need not worry at all or if it shows rise in temperature then the cause of this should be found out, but for sure it is not because of blood donating ( After seeing human blood induces many weird symptoms )
I find this answer helpful
