General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Based on the symptoms you are experiencing, it appears that you could be having a viral infection.
This could be causing myalgia and feeling of fatigue.
Since most of such viral infections are self limiting, you can take symptomatic treatment to overcome it.
Take Tablet.Paracetamol 650mg when you have fever, maximum of three times a day. Also take nutritious food and supplement with multivitamins.
If the symptoms does not improve, kindly consult Physician for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
I find this answer helpful
