What Is The Treatment For Sore Throat,cough And Fever?
For the past 3 days I've had a sore throat, cough, fever around 100.5 as well as my body has been ache and painful. My skin hurts even to touch it. I did have a flu vaccine in October but this feels like the flu to me so I'm wondering if I should go see my Dr.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have sore throat,cough and fever which is due to bacterial infection leading to strep throat. It could be viral infection as well. I would suggest you to maintain proper oral hygiene. You should take Diphenhydramine and Dextromethorphan for 4-5 days. You should avoid cold carbonated beverages. You should take you take nasal decongestant sprays, antihistamines and antibiotic combination as infection is present.Do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day. Take ibuprofen one tablet twice daily. Take soft foods to avoid irritation to the throat. Throat lozanges one every 4 hours is helpful. Drink luke warm water throughout the day as it can provide relief.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
