Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have high fever along with body aches since 2 days which is because of viral infection or common cold. I would suggest you to take combination of antiinflammatory medication along with antiviral medication. You should do tepid sponging as well. Avoid intake of outside food. Take anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to prevent fever and body ache. You should rink plenty of fluids, have proper rest. I would suggest you to visit general physician once and get it examined. you should go for blood tests as well to find out exact cause of infection and start treatment.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
