Brief Answer:
Can take NSAID with muscle relaxant

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

The infection you had could be due to viral pathogen. These symptoms are a part of post viral illness phase. This will subside on its own over time, which may be week or more.

You may have to hydrate yourself well with ample amount of water or fruit juices.

Yo can take a combination of NSAID with muscle relaxant like Tab MOVON MR one per day in the morning after breakfast.

Hope, I answered your query. Wish you good health.
