Suggest Treatment For Fever And Sore Throat

Posted on Tue, 28 Nov 2017

Question: Hi, I've been sick with cold/flu like symptoms for about two weeks. Stress and continual low sleep seems to have inhibited my ability to recover. Started with fever and sore throat, through to phlegm and cough, more recently running nose. Now the running nose has ceased and only small lingering, mostly dry cough. However I have persistent body aches from neck to ankle and not sure if I should seek advice/treatment at this stage or wait for it to pass.
