Sudden onset of generalized body aches and fatigue may be caused by intense physical exercise leading to lactic acid buildup that the body cannot expel in time. It is also possible that the symptoms result from a cold due to invasion of pathogens such as bacteria or viruses. It is recommended to visit a hospital for examination to determine the exact cause before starting treatment. In daily life, drink plenty of warm water to replenish the body's fluid needs.
