What causes fever and body aches with no other symptoms?

Question

For the last two days, I've had a fever and body aches, but nothing else – no cough, no cold, no sore throat. I'm feeling very weak. What could cause a fever and body aches with no other symptoms like a regular flu?

Sounds like your immune system decided to host a sudden loud party without inviting any cough or cold. It is usually just a mild viral bug trying to act tough. Drink loads of water, act like a lazy panda on the couch, and let your body fight it out.

Deepa Thomas · Answer

This usually happens during a viral infection or early fatigue. Just take rest and keep an eye on your temperature.

I totally get it, having a fever with painful body aches makes even turning around in bed feel like a massive chore. It is so frustrating when there are no other symptoms to explain what is wrong. Please take complete rest, stay hydrated, and don't hesitate to see a doctor if the fever does not drop.

I agree with the others, this is classic viral fever behavior. Make sure you drink warm coconut water or electrolyte fluids to keep your strength up.

I had this exact same thing last week, just a sudden 101 fever and terrible back and joint aches but absolutely no cold. My doctor said it was a seasonal viral infection, prescribed simple paracetamol, and told me to rest. It took about four days of solid sleep and fluids to feel normal again.

Haan, seasonal change ke time yeh bohot common hai, pure badan mein dard hone lagta hai. Actually, it is mostly a viral bug, so tension mat lo. Just take proper rest aur thoda garm paani piyo, body recovery mode mein chali jayegi. Doctor se consult zaroor kar lena agar fever badhta hai toh, na?
