Is Yeast Infection, Related With Muscle Soreness And Bloody Mucus?
I've been feeling generally bad for 2 weeks. I almost feel like I have a fever at least once a day. I have muscle soreness, no nausea or vomitting, im unusually tired all the time, and have had headaches pretty bad, also i had a lot of blood in my mucous for a few days. My wife just told me that she was diagnosed with a yeast infection today. Is it possible that I am reacting to a yeast infection also? Thanks

Hi thanks for asking question.
Here are few possibility in your case.
1.First you have bodyache and cough mostly suggestive generalised viral infection lead to such constitutional symptom.
It is treated symptomatically with more water and decongestant for block nose like antihistaminic.
2.Second you have blood in mucus , if blood in cough present along with fever then pneumonitis or bronchitis could be thought.
Chest x ray and spirometry along with complete blood examination useful for it.
3.If you have low immunity and fever present then yes yeast like fungal infection could be cause.sputum for fungus culture done with chest x ray.
4.If you have anorexia, abdominal pain and yellow urine liver enzyme estimation done to rule out early hepatitis.
I hope my suggestion will be helpful to you.
