Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sudden onset of fever, body ache and chills which seems to be viral fever or flu. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles. Drink plenty of fluids, have proper rest. Your symptoms will resolve in 3-4 days. Take analgesic such as Flexion and take light diet. You should take anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to prevent fever and body-ache. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit general physician once and get it examined and start treatment after proper examination and prescription. Go for blood tests such as W.B.C count as well as increased count will indicate infection in body. Drink plenty of liquids. Take painkiller if bodyche is severe. Avoid intake of outside food.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
