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 Ma’am,
Your symptoms suggest a viral infection which usually improves in a week with rest, warm fluids, steam inhalation, and paracetamol if needed for fever/body ache. If fever goes higher, cough worsens, or breathlessness starts, you should get checked once.
I hope it helps you. If more questions are in your mind, you can reach me for a free detailed consultation on WhatsApp at nine one one nine two five five six nine nine.
