Hello
A person with generalized aches and pains has discomfort in multiple areas of the body. Usually, the discomfort is most prominent in the muscles and joints. Aches and pains are common during viral infections, such as colds. Generalized aches and pains are one of the most common symptoms of influenza. Additional common causes for aches and pains include exercise, stress, depression, and drug side effects.
Treatment for generalized aches and pains depends on the underlying cause. Treatment for aches and pains may include acetaminophen, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, warm baths, and massage.
