This is Day 8 of running a fever ranges from 99.6-102.2. I have horrible body aches, my lymph nodes are sensitive to the touch and I am extremely exhuasted. I have chills multiple times throughout the day which causes even more discomfort in my body. When I take a deep breath I have horrible sharp pains that go through my chest or if I wake up and have to cough the same thing with sharp pains in my chest. I had a boil/abbsess honestly not sure what it was on my breast that drained three days ago. It has left a hole on my breast I clean and put gauze over it everyday and it is still oozing stuff out and the hole is still there. Could I have  sepsis?

It means that some bacterial infection is there that might have caused the abscess and Staphylococcus can be the organism responsible for this.
