Brief Answer:
Suspicion of viral fever with sinusitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mr XXXXXXX

Welcome to healthcare magic.

I have gone through your query and based on the symptoms mentioned in your query, I am suspecting that you are suffering from viral fever.

Viral fever usually is acquired by inhalation or respiratory route, and is associated with lethargy and myalgia.

Your description of symptoms correlates with viral fever and the headaches might be due to associated sinusitis.

I suggest the following tips for faster recovery:

1. Get a prescription for a combination of analgesic and antihistamine. For example Tab Sinarest thrice daily after food for 3 days.

2. Take complete bed rest as the best therapy for viral fevers is to sleep it off.

3. Practice steam inhalation twice a day to open up the sinuses and facilitate drainage which will also decrease the headaches.

4. Drink adequate amount of water per day and have a fluid diet till you recover.

Please follow the above instructions and you will feel better within a week.

If symptoms worsen get in touch with a GP nearby you and get fully investigated for fever.

I hope I have helped you with this answer.

Please do not hesitate to come back, if any more queries.

Wishing you a fast recovery,

Thanks.
