Could Severe Chills Followed By Fatigue, Headache And Low Fever After Very Hot Bath Indicate Flu?

Last night, I got severe chills, I took a hot bath, (maybe too hot) and today I am very tired, and sore, with a headach very low fever. I have a rash on my stomach, but I think it may be because I had the bath water too hot. Do you think it is just a virius or some type of flu?

Hello
Welcome to HCM,

The symptoms are suggestive of some flu like condition probably of viral origin.

The symptoms of high grade fever with chills along with some rashes on the abdomen are in favor of viral infection.

For this condition I would suggest you to follow
1. Oral Antipyretics
2. Oral Antibiotics like Zifi
3. Oral antihistamines.

These medications helps to reduce the symptoms, but these can be taken only after getting prescription from your doctor.
Thank you.
