Hi dear ,
Welcome to HCM,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have body pain and congestion while on Allegra . The symptoms you mention in query are pointing toward a condition like viral or bacterial infection that is why allergra is not helping . Well take steam twice a day and drink warm water with honey and lemon .
But if it is getting worse then consult ENT specialist for proper checkup . Doctor may order blood test , viral culture test and throat swab test to confirm the diagnosis and rule out causes like scarlet fever or strep throat as you mention in query . Doctor may prescribe anti viral drug , decongestants and mucolytic agent .
Doctor may also refer you to chest infection in case of chest infection .For now do warm saline gargles and take steam .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
