Suggest Treatment For Flu, Severe Head And Body Ache

I ve been to dr twice in the past week & a half. Had flu test, claims it was negative, but told me I presented 100% as the flu. I feel terrible, and understand there s nothing one can do for the flu besides Tamiflu, but it s too late for that. Also have a pretty severe upper resipratory infect. For which I m taking antibiotics & steroids. I ve got terrible body aches & headahes of the worst kind, and I m a migraine suffer--so that s saying something that they re worse than migraines/clusters/tensions. I also have a dry cough. I cannot rest due to the steroids, and it s virtually impossible to rest with these head & body aches. Being that I work with the direct public, my employer won t allow me back until there s no fever for 24hrs. Bottom line I need some relief.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of flu, severe head and body ache which seems to be viral fever or flu. It seems to be due to increased level of infection in body. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles. You should take rest in a proper way. Drink plenty of fluids. Take diet rich in multivitamins. Take analgesic such as Flexon and take light diet. . Your symptoms will resolve in 3-4 days. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit general physician once and get it examined and start treatment after proper examination and prescription. Go for blood tests as well. You should take anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to prevent fever and body-ache

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
