Suggest Treatment For Chills, Swallowing Difficulty And Low Grade Fever

husand which we thought was having flu symptoms (chills/hot and cold), but is also having problems producing mucas to swallow, definitely dehydrated (giving electrolyte water as of yesterday). this is day 7 of his fatigue/dizziness when standing. Still having low grade fever/ chills with hot and cold, no appetitite, urination remains good, no diarrhea / no vomiting - just gagging. He s on just fluids and clear broth. He s taking Ibuprofin so I can t feel a high fever, just a low grade one which aspirin may be hiding. Very tired. Thought it may be norovirus symptoms.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.



I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.



I understand your problem. As the symptoms you mentioned above, your patient may have tonsillitis or pharyngitis or viral fever. Check his throat with a torch or consult a ENT specialist. Do not take aspirin.



Treatment advised is:



1) Drink plenty of fluids

2) Warm salt water gargle 4 times a day

3) Take Tab. Combiflamm twice daily and Tab. Azithromycin once a day for 3 days.



Hope this will help you.



Get well soon thank you
