Muscle aches caused by a flu virus cannot be accounted for by fluid loss from excretions and emesis alone, because often muscle aches are the first sign of the flu, long before vomiting or diarrhea may ever occur (and they do not occur in most flu infected folk). Instead, it is the increasing body temperature (the fever that is one of the body's most effective responses for killing off heat-susceptible invaders) that causes an increase in water usage at the cellular level. Full body dehydration then almost inevitably occurs, as the flu-infected usually have their thirst and appetite mechanisms decreased as well. However, as the previous writer puts it: One of the most notable symptoms of having the "flu"the is a persistant (and often disgusting!) loss of fluid. This can be a result of vomiting, diarrhea or often a combination of the two. Within this fluid are precious ions (electrolytes) that enable all the good stuff in your body to happen: Muscle contractions, nerve impulses, even basic cellular metabolism! One of the most important (as far as your muscles are concerned) is potassium -- [although calcium, magnesium, and sodium are all equally important but just dont get the same amt of press]. Low potassium levels mean special ion channels in your muscle cells cannot function properly, and that leads to a sensation of "exhaustion", much like you just finished a marathon. Without potassium (and other molecules such as ATP) your muscles just can't function! If you have the flu and you'd like to beat the muscle ache, chow on some high potassium-sodium ratio foods such as avocados or dark green veggies (think spinach); [bananas are merely ok regarding this K/NA ratio, much more important than is absolute amount of potassium alone]. Gatorade or other (preferrably lower in sugar) sports drinks can help both replenish lost electrolytes (like potassium!) AND water, a great two-fer when you're socked in with this bug (watch the sugar level or you'll end up low on potassium again, if you get my drift!).
I'm just getting over the Swine Flu first of all can i say it's not nearly as bad as the media portrays it to be i didn't die or have to be hospitalized or even go to the hospital i talked to a nurse over the phone about my symptoms. As far keeping body aches away advil or Tylenol work great that's basically the only medication i used ( with the exception of honey and chocolate as a cough suppressents but those aren't drugs [btw honey is a better cough supressant then 99% of the cold and flu and stuff so is chocolate try it out])
what is corona
It seems as if you are experiencing early flu symptoms. Getting plenty of rest, vitamins and fluids will help you get better.

There is not an individual condition called a muscle cold. What people call a muscle cold is actually the muscle soreness and fatigue associated with a flu. A flu is caused by a virus.
Sounds like a flu, stomach ache, chills, and sore muscles are about right, not sure about the chest though, could be a chest cold.
It is a sign you are tiring or need to rest.

There are many dengue fever symptoms which include high temperature and stomach ache. However, if along with that if you have flu symptoms, bad headache, joint and muscle pain, vomiting and diarrhea and skin rash you could be in for dengue. You must get a check up done at the earliest.
Body and muscle aches are common symptoms of colds and flu. However, if it is always your hips and legs that ache (typically the aches from these viruses are more generally located and vary in each episode of infection) it should be discussed with your health care professional to determine if the viruses are causing it or if something else is at play.
