Thank you for your question.
With the aches and pains and fever that you are mentioning it seems likely to be a viral infection which should go away in due course of time, usually in a week's time. Meanwhile you can continue taking paracetamol two tablets three to four times daily for your fever and your pain.
Meanwhile I would also suggest that you take electrolyte rich fluids such as pedialyte or gatorade as well.
Kindest Regards
