See a doctor now: You appear to have flu-like symptoms and I strongly recommend you get to the doctor's now. What I worry about is the complications from something like this - including dehydration with kidney injury, or other organ malfunctions, such as when your muscle enzymes go up and cause problems there. You need a diagnosis ASAP and I would get to an ER/Urgent Care center now. Hope you feel better soon.

Viral syndrome: Clinically we usually can differentiate bacterial infections which we would possibly treat with an antibiotic from viral infections which we would not be susceptible to an antibiotic by seeing if there is only one organ system being attacked or if there are multiple organ systems being attacked. Viral infections usually attack one system, bacteria attack multiple systems at once.
