Fever nausea and fatigue are suggestive of ongoing infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Most likely you are suffering from Gastroenteritis. It is an intestinal infection marked by cramps, nausea, vomiting and fever. However, it's not necessary that all symptoms are there in a single patient. Depending on the cause, viral gastroenteritis symptoms may appear within one to three days after you're infected and can range from mild to severe. Symptoms usually last just a day or two, but occasionally they may persist as long as 10 days.
Treatment-
Take paracetamol for any fever or aches and pains.
Get plenty of rest.
If you feel like eating, try small amounts of plain foods, such as soup, rice, pasta and bread.
Use special rehydration drinks made from sachets electoral solution to maintain depleted electrolyte levels in serum to help in fatigue
Take anti-vomiting medication (such as Zofran).
Get a stool test done.
Hope I have answered your query.
