What Causes Pain In Skull, Joints And Chills?
Question: my skull hurts, joints ache, have chills
Brief Answer:
Infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
You seem to have headache, temperature running and joint pains. all these indicate a sort of inflammatory process. This is mostly likely from infection if you have no other autoimmune conditions already diagnosed.
You should take symptomatic treatment in the form of MOTRIN/ADVIL double dose to see if it helps. ALEVE is a mild dose and may not be of any help. If first dose of double strength MOTRIN does not help you should find a clinic for evaluation and treatment.
Wish you good health and I am here to assist you for any follow up questions that arise.
