What Causes Pain In Legs, Arms And Shoulders After Tonsillitis?
i have been in hospital with quite a bad case of tonsilitis today. i have pains in the top of my neck, my head, my ears, cheeks, and throat. i also have swollen lympth nodes in my neck. I have come home and am on antibiotics, codeine, paracetamol, and ibuprofen. I have just in the past hours started to get pain in my legs, arms, shoulders, and lower back. i have researched things on the computer and everything i read is scaring me. i panic alot if there is something wrong with me and get really anxious, so i was just wondering if i should seek medical attention or if i will be fine?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to a tonsillitis.
The presence of an infection in the system can cause muscular and articular pain.
I suggest to continue using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
The symptoms will go away on its own in a few days.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
