Does Sore Throat With Pain In Shoulders Require Medical Attention?
I have had the flu for 2-3 days now. Should I make an appointment with my doctor yet? Or just wait for it to pass?
I have a very sore throat and it now is starting to hurt when I swallow, I have a headache, I am experiencing sharp pain in my shoulders all the time and my hearing has gotten worse. What should I do?

Hello,
Welcome toHCM,
The history and symptoms suggest me that you are having upper respiratory tract infection of viral origin.
Mostof the viral infection are self limiting which will subside by itself.
For your condition I would suggest you to follow
1. Salt water gargling.
2. Steam inhalation with Vapocaps.
3. NSAIDs like Tab Ibuprofen.
4. Oral Antihistamines.
Thank you.
