What Causes Throat Pain With Chills And Body Ache?
I want to know what I have.......My throat started hurting Friday evening. By night time It had worsen.....body aches,chills,throat hurting even more...hard to swallow. So I went into the E.R. To get seen. Thinking I had strep throat.....but test came back negative. They gave me some pain meds......But since then I m still feeling sick......body aches and chills have worsen. Having dizzy spell and now chest pains when I talk,cough,when I get up from bed or blow my nose.
One of the common cause of throat infection is viral flu or common cold
If I were your treating doctor would have prescribed Brufen and Paracetomol combination to treat your chills and body pains and would have told you consume a cough syrup which has antihastamine and expectorant
Try to take sufficient rest and do steam inhalation with a decongestant Karvol plus for atleast three times daily
Avoid Tea - as it is a brochodilator and may aggravate the condition
Do not exercise for next seven days as it may aggravate the condition. However slow walking after the dinner is ok
Wish You Good Health
Regards
