Dear Ask The Doctor: I have a sore stiff neck, sore throat, dull headache and body aches and cramps, like my muscles in my back is contracting. I get cold shivers in the early morning hours. What can be the cause of this?
Dear Lienkie: You are most probably suffering from a viral flu. No treatment is needed other than tylenol for the fever and headache. The infection should subside on its own within 3-4 days. You may also take an NSAIDS for the muscle and backaches.
If your headache worsens or you develop vomiting, I would then suggest that you immediately consult your doctor or go to the ER. I wish you well, take care. |
