This is quite normal and it means that your body is fight a bacteria or virus.

Drink plenty of fluids, avoid milk drinks whilst you are unwell.  Take pain relief medication to help drop down the high temperature.

If your symptoms do not subside in a few days time, you may need to make an appointment to see your doctor as a bacterial infection may require an antibiotic.

Maybe your body is trying to sweat it out. Drink garlic water and take vitamin c and a multi vitamin.
