Brief Answer:
For how long has this been going on?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms that you have reported. I will need to know for how long these symptoms have been going on. This will be helpful in narrowing down the possible diagnosis. This is because the causes are different depending on the length. Acute causes are often related to infections, mostly viral while long standing causes often touch on inflammatory disease conditions/auto-immune disorders.

Also, do you have any other symptoms such as dry mouth? Painful joints?

I hope to hear from you before providing further insights and guidance. Waiting....
