Suggest Treatment For Chills And Lack Of Appetite

I have been suffering chills and sweats since Sunday, no sore throat or cold just chills, sweats, joint aches, dizzyness and lack of appetite - I ve assumed it s a virus and treated with paracetomol to reduce temperature and aches. I am unable to take ibruprofen due to acid reflux/heartburn which is usually under control through diet. However, I m getting worse not better - any ideas??

Hello,

I think it can be a viral infection,flu or cold. Taking vitamins C,D and zinc is advisable. Also, take Acetaminophen for joint and muscle pain. Increase fluid intake having more water and tea.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
