Question: I started get a sore throat a week go. On Saturday I was very horce the next day. Then after that my throat is not sore but cough a lot. My sinus are fine and my lungs don,t hurt. I have a temp. That moves all over the place. 99.5 to 102. I have no appetite, very tired, headaches and around my eyes. I may go in to the clinic tomorrow. It does'nt feel like cold or the flu. Any ideas. Thanks

Brief Answer:
Sounds like viral fever

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal
the symptoms of the query are quite suggestive of a viral fever.

I think following steps should help you.

The cough preceded by hoarseness suggests that there is an ongoing laryngopharyngitis, typically caused by viral infection usually. The fever will happen due to the infection. Loss of appetite is a part of the illness. This reduces your fluid intake causing weakness and bodyache.

I suggest taking steam inhalation 4-6 times a day.
Warm saline gargles 4-5 times a day may also help the throat.
Take plenty of warm fluids. Target at least 4-5 litres.
Paracetamol may be taken sos for fever or bodyache and weakness.
Antibiotics, if needed may be suggested at a later date.

Best of luck
Dr Mittal
