Suggest Treatment For Muscle Pain , Fatigue And Cough

I felt sick starting last Wednesday. I felt fatigued, muscle achy, and have had some mucus drainage in my throat. On Friday, I started to feel better but I still have a cough, that burns a little in my chest. Do I have a virus or infection...hard to tell if I should get on an antibiotic or not? I also started doing a 30 day cleanse called Isagenix on Monday. Other than that I am not on any medication.

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

Your main problem is coughing with burning in chest which is here causing your muscle pain and fatigue.

You should be examined thoroughly for the underlying cause.

Cough could be due to acute bronchitis, allergic bronchitis or upper respiratory infection etc.

You may undergo routine blood investigation with sputum tests and X- ray chest to rule out any other pathology of lung.

You will require full course of antibiotics (quinolones or cephalosporins) with antiinflammatory and antiallergic (antihistamines or steroids) with supportive treatment.

Consult ENT specialist for further advise.

Regards,
