Fever, Throat Irritation And Uneasiness. Why Do I Have Giddiness And Joint Pain After Taking Zithrox?
Question: Hi Doctor,
Few days back, after attending a function, I felt some un-easiness like feverish and throat irritation. Like earlier I took a tablet ZITHROX -500 for 3 days and felt some relief. Again 5th day I got same problems and took one more TAB yesterday. But since yesterday I am having many other problems like giddiness, tiredness & mussel /joint pain and “sudden catching” in my mussels (below knee portion). Can you advise me doctor what might have gone wrong and do you suggest any treatment /medicine please. (I am an diabetic & BP and it is under control with medicine)
Regards

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
It seems that you have an infection in your pharynx which is most likely a viral infection. Such infections do cause some systemic symptoms like body aches, muscle pain, etc.
Other causes could be-
1. Improper diet.
2. Abnormal body posture, muscle overuse.
3. Electrolyte imbalance.
You need to take a mild pain killer like paracetamol or ibuprofen for symptomatic relief. Taking Vitamin B complex and Vitamin C supplements for a few days will also be of help.
Your symptoms are likely to subside in 7-10 days. In case these are persistent then i suggest you to consult a physician for a physical examination and evaluation.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
