What Causes Sore Throat And Body Ache?

I am 33 years old and female, I woke up with a terrible sore throat today it feels like I m swallowing pins like it s almost going to close up on me. Then about 3 hours ago my body started shivering and is now every joint in my body is hurting really bad, the back of my neck feels heavy and sore, my gums hurt, my chest my hiPs my back literally all over hurts to lie down or stand. Is this just a normal flu that I have I don t have a runny nose or fever. My whole family has had colds all week, this day last week I had a head cold but it s back much much harder.

Hello,

You may be got acute pharyngitis with viral myalgia. Use salt water gargling thrice a day for five days. Use tablet amoxicillin and clavulinic acid 625 mg twice a day for five days.

Drink plenty of liquids and water. Take rest. If no improvement please consult with your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
