Fever and body ache may be early viral symptoms. Monitor for 3 days before testing unless worsening. Dengue, typhoid, or flu are common in early fever. Stay hydrated and rest. Do CBC, Dengue NS1, and Malaria Test if fever persists.

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a Dengue NS1 Antigen - Elisa Test
