Hello,
The most common cause of your symptoms (especially if you use no drugs and are not having any medications) is a viral condition that is generally self limiting and it is expected for you to improve within the next few days.
Meanwhile you will need to take paracetamol or ibuprofen to control fever, you will need to rest to avoid falls and also to give your body some time to recover, try to drink frequent small amounts of fluids and eat frequent small amounts of food (if you eat of drink big amounts is difficult for your stomach to handle it and may worsen nausea and cause vomiting).
If you don't notice any improvement in the next 3-4 days or in case of any worsening please see your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
