What Causes Severe Body Pains With Wet Cough?
Hi. I woke up today to severe body aches and a wet cough. I thought I was still groggy so I went to sleep for another hour but when I woke up my head and neck hurt a lot worse. The body aches are mainly in my lower-back, hips, upper legs and neck. I also have a severe headache. I feel nauseated on and off but I can eat and keep down food when Im not feeling queasy. I don t have diarrhea at this point. I have a low-grade fever. I took some excedrin for the headache and body aches before work but as soon as that wore off the pain all came back immediately. I was fine yesterday. It feels like the flu, but, like I said, I m not vomiting nor do I have diarrhea. Can anyone tell me what this is or give me some advice?

Hello,
You are suffering from severe body ache, wet cough, lower backache, pain back of the hip, upper legs, neck and headache, nausea, etc. Now you also have a low grade fever. Such symptoms are indicative of common cold, gargle your throat with a pinch of salt dissolved in warm water, 2-3 times a day. It will bring relief.
Hip pain on the outside of your hip, upper thigh or outer buttock is usually caused by problems with muscles, ligaments, tendons and other soft tissues that surround your hip joint. Cold compression is effective. Applying a cloth-covered ice pack to the affected area for 10 to 15 minutes at a time can also help. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as Ibuprofen and Naproxen, can reduce the pain and swelling that these muscle injuries have caused.
Gently stretching your body may reduce hip pain. Get connected to a Physical therapist, it will help. Medical conditions that cause such symptoms are sciatica pain, get it treated. Get clinically examined. Take cetirizine for relief. Take Naproxen, one SOS when required. Get a strep throat test done, take swab and throat examination. Get treated at the earliest.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
