A temperature range of 98-99.7F (36.7-37.6C) is slightly below or within the normal range, but when combined with body weakness and fatigue, it could indicate a low-grade infection, inflammation, or a viral illness, and it's also possible that you might be experiencing a post-viral fatigue syndrome or a mild case of COVID-19, so it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and guidance.

I'm feeling really worried because I've got a fever of 101 and there's a rash too. Could these symptoms mean it's a viral fever? If it is, how is the treatment different from other types of fever? Ive got some medicine names but could you tell me what I should be taking? If you can, Id appreciate it if you explain in Hindi since I might not get all the medical terms.

check cbc and platelets and take iv fluids if necessary based on symptoms
