Sore Throat, Body Pain, Fever, Cold, Night Sweats, Swollen Glands In Neck. Cause And Treatment?
About 2 weeks ago i got sick with a really sore throat , body aches, fever and cold sweats at night. It went away very quickly ( 2 days) but then the last 3 days my throat starts getting scratchy in the evening and then every morning i have a horrible sore throat and swollen glands in my neck but then it goes away threw out the day only to return at night? Any answers to what it may be? Im a 29 year old female. I dont smoke anymore i quit 4 months ago.

Hello
The symptoms you have described seems to be a upper respiratory infection. If it has not got better in a weeks time then I would advise you to meet the GP/ ENT specialist. They will prescribe a course of antibiotics to reduce the infection. Really glad to know you quit smoking I hope its for good and long.
I hope you found my response to be helpful and informative. If you have any additional concerns I would be happy to address them.
Regards
Dr Divya
