Hello Mam ,
This probably is - Viral fever .
But if you have bodyache I will suggest you to go for dengue test as well .
However - For viral fever you can just have symptomatic treatment .
As it takes time for it to resolve .
Next Steps
Consult dr and have medicine for the symptoms . If possible go for CBC and Dengue Ns1 test

Hello maam.
From your history the most probable diagnosis is Upper Respiratory Tract Infection.
That is if you dont have any other specific symptoms.
A detailed history is required for proper diagnosis.

Salt water gargling is recommended if you are experiencing persistent sore throat.
