Suggest Treatment For Diarrhea, Sore Throat, Cold And Cough

Posted on Fri, 12 Feb 2016

Question: I am 46, female and have had for 3 nights in a row very heavy night sweats. I am completely drenched in sweat, whole body. When I had night sweats previously, they were milder, and I associated them with infections like flu. I just came back from a three week trip from XXXXXXX I experienced some diarrhea, nothing major, and sore throat, cold and cough there.

Brief Answer:
Further work up needed

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through the details provided. I would insist you to get the blood total count as well as thyroid profile done and to share the reports using the facility on the upper right of this page. The reports will help me gain further insights into what may be the cause of your complaints.

As of now, I would suggest you to take steam inhalation. You also need to take ORS (oral rehydration solution) to replenish the amount of salt and water lost due to the diarrhea. Taking curd or yogurt will also help.

Unfortunately this platform does not yet have any facility for lab work or direct physical examination. You would have to reach out to a local facility for the same.
