very high doses of vitamin C are safe and effective when you take enough. Since you are so ill, you need VERY high doses. go to this site and you'll find more info about it - doctor yourself by Andrew Saul.
Sorry to hear that you feel so unwell.
Your body is fighting either a bacterial or viral infection.
If you have painful ears, throat, sinus and chest problems, it is best to see your doctor to check you over to find out if you have a bacterial or viral infection.
The doctor will only prescribe an antibiotic for a bacterial infection. Viral infections have be fought off by your own immune system.
It also may be worth getting checked out for any worm or parasite infestations, that you may have got through drinking and eating contaminated food. Make sure that you always wash your hands after using the toilet and before eating any food.
Do not worry too much if you do not feel like eating at the moment. Take your paracetamol or a Lemsip as prescribed on the packet - do not exceed the dose.
Drink plenty of fluids, soups, juices and water. Keep off milk products while you are ill. You need to keep the fluids going into your body so that you do not become dehydrated.
For your headache, (this will be due to the fever and also if your sinuses are blocked up) do steam inhalations. Get a fairly large bowl and pour in boiling hot water into it and put some Vick or Olbas oil into the water. Take care not to get scalded and lean over the bowl covering your head and bowl with a towel. Take care not to get scalded and breathe in the steam for a duration of 10 minutes. Do this 4 times a day. This will help to loosen any congestion in your sinuses and help clear the headache.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.

sounds like you may have a virus that will pass with your own immune system.
If it doesnt go away I would suggest getting a further look into other infections that could be causing this to occur.
Your body only gets fever if there is a foreign invader such as viral or infection. Sometimes this is difficult to locate....
If this persists after further testing. You should also get tested for cancer.
But its only been 5 days of fever. I'm convinced this will go away on its own.
