Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
You are concerned about having fever with associated nausea, loss of appetite and joint pain. This sounds like you have the beginning of a virus infection possible influenza if you did not get your flu shot this winter. If it just started today you could be seen at your medical provider or urgent care and they have medication antiviral that can help reduce your severity of the flu. I would recommend while waiting to start drinking plenty of fluids, take ibuprofen alternating with tylenol to help with the fever and joint pains.
