Your symptoms are suggestive of a viral fever or a urinary tract infection. You should visit the nearest ER so that you can be examined and undergo investigations such as CBC, Urine analysis, Dengue IgM, Lepto IgM, WIDAL, etc. to find the underlying cause and have it treated accordingly. These following steps may help: - Avoid cold food and water, preferably have hot food and water - Don't skip meals have a liquid diet containing soups and progressively increase to solid diet as per how you can tolerate. - Have food rich in vitamin C such as oranges to help build immunity. - Drink plenty of fluids, drink 3 liters of water per day - Do salt water gargling with lukewarm water thrice a day - Do steam inhalation (plain steam) thrice a day and apply vaporub over your chest and nose - Maintain good personal hygiene - Rest plenty, body heals while at rest - Keep yourself warm and if you feel shivering at night with the fan on, kindly switch the fan off and see if this persists, if it does you should visit the ER If the condition persists or worsens visit nearest ER at earliest

Hello there.  I can understand your concern.  Im sure you have done self medication with norflox which is obviously not a wise decision. Give dolo 650 thrice a day after food tab. Rantac-d twice a day half an hour before food for 3 days. Consult a general physician in person for further evaluation and management.  Best regards. Dr. Anil kumar jain. Bangalore.
