Brief Answer:
Generalised weakness

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcare Magic and thanks for putting up the query
From the complaints it seems to be that you are having some throat infection with gastric upset. The malaise and headache is also due to this only.
You should get a hemogram done and blood pressure checked.
Please send me the pictures of your throat and tell what medicines have u been taking so far?
It would be better if you visit the DR. for a proper examination.
Follow up with the required information so that I can suggest you better.
Take care
Thanks and regards

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for the information.
Viral pharyngitis can definitely lead to all the symptoms you are mentioning. The taste is also bad because of throat infection.
Prednisone is a steroid. My advise is you should take tablet amoxyclav 625 milligrams twice daily and tablet levocetrizine plus montelukast once a day. Take tablet Vitamin C once every day.
Use hexidine gargles.
Take Paracetamol for fever
Take all medicines for 5 days.
All the medicines I have prescribed will be available only on prescription.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Take care
Thanks and regards
