I'm not telling you what you should do. I said there was something you would want to do but it was lazily worded. In all likelihood I imagine you would want to do it but that's mostly conditional to you also knowing what I know and I should assume you don't. You can do whatever you want, but I don't see a better course of immediate action than rest. However, I see the situation as not much different from a broken leg. Sometimes we know what broke a bone, such as getting hit by a car or falling a great distance. Other times, bones break with seemingly little uncontrollable, identifiable circumstance. When that happens, it usually becomes a great concern that diet and lifestyle is adequately supporting bone maintenance and measures to provide an environment that aids stronger bones are often taken, such as eating more calcium, even if those measures are uncertain to help. A "just in case" attitude is adopted when the full picture isn't known.
The same attitude can be useful in your situation, I think, and the single greatest point of failure in many acute illnesses with cold-like, flu-like, or feverish qualities is frequently the gut (but not always). So, if I were you, I would normally act as if something foul is afoot in the intestines. This can be as mundane as food poisoning, but even so, the same principles that prevent sickness from chronically poor diet can be used to prevent acute illness from such bad luck. This is why I would emphasize glycine, riboflavin, and vitamin C and the eating of foods which do not support malicious bacteria. I have personally been using glycine and riboflavin lately and have noticed a remarkable improvement in skin health and strength. The significance of this is that the inside of the intestines is just as much the outside of the body as the skin. Both are important barriers that maintain the integrity of the organism. This is not merely a theoretical suggestion. Riboflavin is known to modulate the gut microbiome and glycine is an endotoxin antagonist. All three items aid collagen production. Glycine is one of the most important items here as the amount available in the typical diet is low and the necessary liver functions needed to produce it from other substrate are often compromised. What's more is that glycine helps realize the benefits of saturated fat by preventing the liver from desaturating it, it aids hormone production, and it gives structure to water thereby supporting a healthier shape of tissues with less flabby, deflated, sagging spots. Just be warned that riboflavin can have bad interactions with sunlight if using high doses in the daytime (but is otherwise safe).
While I would like people to always take my messages seriously enough to start investigating matters themselves because I genuinely think they can benefit and I like the idea of someone being helped, I don't need the ego trip from positive responses or blind acceptance of what I say. I'm just throwing coins into a pond to see what happens. You're going to do whatever you're going to do regardless.
