Your concerns are justified.
You probably had a viral illness like Dengue or Chikungunya.
These fevers are often followed by tiredness & bodyaches which can last several weeks.
Unfortunately the only treatment available is simple pain killers like panadol or brufen.
If you are still very anxious ask your doctor to get yourself checked for antibodies against dengue & chickengunya and some basic blood test like CBC,CRP &ESR.
Hope you find the information useful.
