Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat, Headache And Excessive Body Pain

Well I have had a sore throat and headache plus fatigue and some body aches on and off for 3 weeks.. Seems longer than normal for me. Fell great in the morning and as the day progresses, I feel worse.. I thought that I had recovered and it comes back. Any thoughts?

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Sore throat, body ache and headache with fatigue are commonly seen in viral throat infection..

If you have a low immunity then you are more prone to recurring infections..

So you also need to get checked for the cause of recurring infection and get treated for the same too..

So my suggestion is to consult an Emergency room and get evaluated..
You can be advised a blood test and throat swab culture to confirm the diagnosis..

You can be advised to take a course of antibiotics to avoid or treat secondary bacterial infection.
A course of Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen can be advised to treat pain..
Along with it take multivitamin tablet daily..
You should take nutritious diet and drink plenty of water..
Suck throat lozenges and avoid spicy and irritant foods..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
