Fever, Severe Sore Throat And Sweats While Sleeping. Looking For Solution
Question: I have a temerature of 96.0 and a severe sore throat for thelast 3 days and body sweats when i sleep
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Sore throats are generally caused by viruses but a bacterial infection may also cause this.
Since you are not complaining of any cold or sneezing or stuffy nose,it could be a bacterial infection.
You must visit your doctor for the physical examination,a throat swab and a prescription of antibiotic.
Till you visit your doctor do regular gargles with warm saline water three times a day.
Take some Tylenol ,if you are having bodyache or headache.
I hope it helps however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
