Could Fever, Body Ache, Chills And Severe Fatigue Mean Viral Infection?

just curious what type of virus i may have. I am in a paramedic class with several students who have had varying degrees of fever, usually around 101 to 103 accompanied with body aches, and often ear drainage and vertigo. I have had a temp of 99.1- 99.2 since yesterday and have recently developed body aches and chills as wel as flushed appearance and severe fatigue. Most of my classmates with similar symptoms have had such for at least 1 to 2 weeks with the fever fluctuating over the course of the day.

hi...thanks for your question...body aches,chills and sever fatigue are vague symptoms which can occur in any disease but presence of fever shows some kind of infection going on in your body it may be throat infection,chest infection,urinary problems,.to diagnose proper cause of fever you must have all baseline investigations done.
