I'm having a heavy head since the morning, I have quite a lot pain in the waist and legs, and feel quite feverish, even though the temperature does not show, it is just a little above normal, the main cause of my worry is that about 1-2 days ago, a very different looking mosquito(probably it was a mosq., though I am not 100% sure), bitten me about 3 times, and the marks were quite thick, I'm really worried.
what are there symptoms of??and what would be the preventive measures I should take??
Also I at times feel like eating, but when I begin to eat, I feel like throwing the food off, should I go to school tomorrow? I'm 16 years.

It maybe just a simple little viral cold unrelated to the mosquito bites, or it could be the West Nile's virus. There's not a whole lot you can do, but your doctor can run a couple of tests and possibly prescribe an antibiotic if he determines that your case maybe bacterial in nature.
You must make an apoointment with your doctor/pediatrician right away and ask to be seen today. the sooner you go, the better off you'll be.

could be West Nile Virus.
"Symptoms include fever, headache, tiredness, and body aches, occasionally with a skin rash (on the trunk of the body) and swollen lymph glands. While the illness can be as short as a few days, even healthy people have reported being sick for several weeks."
"The symptoms of severe disease (also called neuroinvasive disease, such as West Nile encephalitis or meningitis or West Nile poliomyelitis) include headache, high fever, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, and paralysis."

go see your G.P. (family doc) and get this checked out. Without seeing the welt, knowing your BP, HR, Temp... it is hard to say what is going on. Don't take anything (this may mask symptoms for your doc) and go see him/her as soon as possible.

You should go to doctor now if possible.
