Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is a kind of malaise and it is not the symptoms of Crohn disease, but it seems to be due to some infection.
Firs, it could be viral fever, if this is so, then you need to have patience for few days to see its symptoms. If this is bacterial infection then it needs to be differentiated.
Second, such conditions can be managed on tentative basis with tablet Doxycycline. Consult your physician for prescription.
Such case demands investigation if symptoms do not subside. Functional dysfunction could be another cause.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain
