Suggest Treatment For Cough And Body Ache
Hi, I have a question. So this morning my body all of a sudden started aching & when I cough my chests hurt. I run track but usually it s just my legs that are sore but this time its my whole body. I never stay sore after 2 days. And my body ache has just started this morning. My mother felt my head & sides of my neck & said that I am not sick but does that mean anything?Am I at an early age of the flu?

Hi,
It is possible, as you stated, that you might be experiencing the early flu. Additional symptoms may develop over the next day or two.
Paracetamol/Tylenol can be used for the aches and pain. A cough suppressant can help reduce the coughing eg dextromethorphan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
