Hello,
Such a high fever generally results in lot of evaporation of water resulting in dehydration and loss of electrolytes which results in aches in body.
You must replenish your electrolytes and water by taking plenty of water,ORS and coconut water.
Take some paracetamol for fever and can be taken every 4-6 hours.
Do sponging with tap water.
If it is a viral fever,it should go way in 72-96 hours.
Persistence of fever beyond 4 days would necessitate required investigations for diagnosis of cause and appropriate treatment.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic,
You have high grade fever with severe body ache, common causes are viral fever, malaria, Urinary tract infection and even Pneumonia.

If your fever is high a Paracetamol tablet will help to reduce pain and fever, tepid sponging can also be done to make you comfortable.

You need to consult Physician and after clinical examination if required investigations may be done to know the cause.Treatment depends on diagnosis.
Appropriate therapy may be started by your doctor.
Hope this helps.

Take care.
Good Luck.

Hi,
It seems that you are having high fever giving rise to generalized body ache, headache and pain while walking.
It might be viral infection.
Take tablet paracetamol for fever and body ache.
Take plenty of water.
Take light diet.
Within a day or two you will be alright, if fever continued then consult your doctor and get investigated.
Ok and take care.
