I would advise you to visit a MD general physician as you require a physical examination and undergo investigations such as ANA, CRP, CBC to find the underlying cause and have it treated accordingly. The given information isn't sufficient to reach a specific diagnosis, so kindly visit the MD general physician at the earliest.
