What Causes Fever Along With Chills And Headache?

A few days ago I had a fever (40c) with chills and headache. I slept most of the day. Since then I have a pain in my chest and back. I also feel like coughing when I take a breath. Is this a particular type of flu? Other? I am usually in good health with a healthy lifestyle.

Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of fever along with chills and headache which is because of viral infection to your body and impaired immunity of your body. I would suggest you to start with course of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. You should take combination of amoxicillin along with levocetrizine. Do warm saline gargles 3-4 times a day with lukewarm water. Take diet rich in fruits rich in vitamin C as it will boost his immunity. Avoid giving cold beverages. Keep him sipping lukewarm water whole day. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit general physician once and get it examined and start proper course of antibiotics. Steam inhalation is another treatment option for resolving it. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables to boost the immunity.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
