As per your query you have symptoms of persistent low fever, body ache and insomnia which seems to be due to viral infection due to compromised immunity of your body and susceptibility of getting infected. Sometimes initially the infection is viral but with times secondary bacterial infection occur , which cause further complication. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist without any delay. Doctor may prescribe anti viral acyclovir/ antibacterial penicillin along with anti inflammatory medications. Doctor may order blood test to confirm diagnosis. You should take proper rest. Yous hould take muscle relaxants if fever is of high grade.Hope your concern has been resolved.Get Well Soon.Best Wishes,Dr. Harry Maheshwari
