General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

Your symptoms are suggestive of possible flu. I will suggest that you take Tylenol extra strength as recommended by your pharmacist. This should be able to address the headaches, fevers and body aches. Please, respect dosage and take every 6 hours for best results.

Unless something else comes up or symptoms persist beyond 5 days, there is no reason to seek further aggressive medical attention at this time.

In all, possible flu. Try Tylenol and only seek attention if symptoms last more than 5 days or worsen.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein,
General Surgeon
