What The Cause For Fever With Body Ache & Fatigue?

I have been sick for almost a week, out of the blue it seemed. I am very lightheaded, headaches, everything just aches, lethargic, fatigued and tonight I started getting a pain in the crease of my elbow. I felt by the AC and I have a lump which I never had before, it hurts really bad when I press on it. What do you think?

Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
You might be suffering from Viral infection.
However, it has been a fever of more then a week, so should be evaluated.
I would advise you:
1. Hemogram with ESR
2. Xray Chest
3. Widal test.

That Lump requires clinical examination.
It might be an abscess that is causing fever!

This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
