What Causes Sporadic Sweating And Chills Along With Fatigue?

Last week I had a stomach bug (low grade fever, vomiting, diarrhea) that was over in about six hours (I believe it was a stomach bug and not food poisoning because my son came down with the same symptoms three days later). Yesterday morning I woke up with another low grade fever (100.3) after a night of sweating and chills. I was fatigued but had no other symptoms and the fever eventually lifted. Today I had an outpatient nasal procedure performed (sphenocath with lidocainie injection of the sphenopalatine ganglia nerve) as a treatment for my chronic migraines. The ENT put me on a Z-pack and so far I ve taken one dose. Tonight the fever is back. I ve also felt bloated and have gained about five pounds in the past week, for no apparent cause. I am 39 years old and in reasonably good health (low cholesterol and blood pressure) except for chronic migraines. Should I be concerned about this recent fever, weight gain, and fatigue?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
dear patient,since you have a stomach bug which is mostly viral in origin. it will take a minimum of a week to get rid of it by your immune system. so dont worry,take plenty of fluids,take tablet dolo500 thrice for fever,take high amount of protein foods.it has nothing to do with your sphenocath procedure.About weight gain it might be due to some hormone imbalance in your system and i advice you to contact an endocrinologist for further action.
best of luck.hope i have answered your question
