What To Do For Swollen Throat, Headache And Shivering?
My throat has swollen up and I've been having severe headaches for over a week now. I lie in bed shivering and then wake up in a sweaty mess. I've been on paracetamol and ibuprofen for around 5 days now and it doesn't seem to be working. What can I do?

Hi,
It seems that you might be having upper respiratory tract infection and might require one course of antibiotic medicine like Azithromicin for 5 days.
do warm water gargles.
Avoid fried, chilies and junk food.
Ok and take care.
