Took Testosterone Shot, Unusually Tired, Sore Throat. Why Am I Experiencing This?

My husband took his first testosterone shot a few days ago ~ he also took a Prescription vitamin D (50,000). Since then he has been unusually tired and last night woke up with a sore throat . Although his throat is not sore this morning, when he talks he sounds like he has the beginnings of laryngitis . Could these be due to either of the two?

ENT Specialist,  's  Response
Hello

Thanks for writing to H.C.M.

I have gone through your query regarding sore throat and change in voice of your husband, you are in doubt weather this is the side effect of Testosterone and vitamin-D which he had taken a day before.

Madam, this is laryngopharyngitis in your husband and not related to medication he had taken, this is most commonly viral infection and he may take-

(a) Warm saline gargling.

(b) Tab paracetamol.

(c) Antihitaminics & Decongestant.

(d) Plenty of fluid orally.

I hope above treatment will help him.

Regards.
