General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

A sore throat, runny nose and pains all are mostly caused by a viral infection. Very often it would settle itself in a few days and do not need any treatment. We encourage to take more fluids and a good diet.

If you do not feel very sick, you may not need to go to your doctor. You can use paracetamol and Avil for symptoms relief. There are other over the counter remedies for flue you may use. However, if you feel short of breath, or very sick, or things don't get well in 5 days, you should see your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mahboob Ur Rahman, General & Family Physician
