Suggest Treatment For Lower Back Pain, Red And Sore Throat Along With Fever
I m experiencing lower back pain, red, sore throat, fever of 100.8 for two days, body aches, and fatigue. I ve had cold-like symptoms for three weeks and saw a physician a week ago who gave me Mucinex. But the aches, back pain, and fever are new as of yesterday. I m 27 and I m good health, although I do work in a daycare that had a case of strep throat several days ago.

Thanks for contacting HCM
You are concerned about having fever body aches and back pain for an extended period of time. This sounds like you may have a urinary tract infection. I would return to your doctor and ask for a urine test and blood count. Since your illness has gone on longer than a usual virus I think additional testing is required. You should have been feeling better from a viral illness within 1 week and your fevers should also have resolved
