What Is The Treatment For Sore Throat And Body Ache?
I started feeling bad on Wed. Took a 2 hr nap and have been in the bed ever since Thurs. It started out with body aches (mainly back and legs) but has turned into a severe sore throat but it's not just in the back of my throat, it goes all the way down. I have a cough and try to do so as little as possible due to the pain. I have coughed up a tiny bit of mucus today. Any suggestions on what might be going on?

Hello
your symptoms are characteristic of a viral flu and you just have to take rest for it to recover. you can take tab paracetamol 500 mg as an when the pain occurs and also gargle with warm salt water 2-3 times a day for an early recovery. dont worry , you will be fine!!
Take care!
