Myriad illnesses: Both bacterial and viral. You need to see a doctor to have a history and physical exam. Then your doctor can narrow down the possibilities and test you for them. Treatment will depend on the diagnosis. Call your physician and tell them what your symptoms are. Then they will advise you what they think you should do next. Feel better soon!
