Viral fever
I am 49 years old. Everyone in my family had a viral fever, and I think I caught it from them. However, I feel feverish internally, but my body temperature does not seem high from the outside. The soles of my feet remain warm, and I have persistent body aches. I have been taking paracetamol twice a day for the last four days, but I am not getting any relief. It has been about 4–5 days now.

3 days of feverish feeling, general malaise fits the description of a viral fever. Plus the history of family members recovered from it.
While you are right to be taking paracetamol. Maybe instead of 2times increase to 3 times or try medication like CALPOL 650 or Dolo 650.
Next Steps
ensure that your hydration and nutrition are intact.
in case the fever shows elevation or some more symptoms get added to your existing condition then on fasting stomach get the following blood test:
1. CBC
Health Tips
avoid heat, physical exertion, gyming.
