Question: My daughter is feeling so tired, even to speak. She has headache, stomachache and sore throat. Can you tell what she needs to do?She is traveling now. What could she have?She s flying now.
Brief Answer:
Likely to be due to viral upper respiratory tract infection
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Based on the description it is possible that she is suffering from a viral infection which could be responsible for the sore throat as well. Such sore throat can be caused due to some viruses like Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) (causes mono), or some bacteria like Streptococcus (causes Strep throat). Irrespective of the cause, gurgling with lukewarm water would be recommended. She would also need to take acetaminophen when required. It will relieve her headache. If it is feasible it would be a good idea to visit a doctor and to get the cause of the sore throat evaluated. She might require to be treated with an antibiotic if a bacterial cause seems likely. That could be the reason that she is receiving antibiotics.
I would also insist on getting her thyroid profile checked. Please upload the report thereafter.
I would await your response. Let me know if I could help further.
Regards

Actually she said the throat is getting better. But she feels like want to throw up, so she couldn't eat. My concern is that she is too tired to speak. Is it because she does not eat enough or what?Tomorrow . she is going to have a long trip from Asia to US.What is your recommendation?
Brief Answer:
Avoid cold temperatures.
Detailed Answer:
It is good to know that she is recovering. I would insist her to dissolve Disprin dispersible tablet in water and to use it for gurgling. Possibly she will feel better and would be able to eat. The problem is due to the sore throat and not due to her not being able to eat. No specific recommendations for her trip. Just ask her to keep warm and to avoid low temperatures (as in cold drinks) for the time being (if possible).
