Suggest Treatment For Fever, Muscle Pain And Tenderness On Side Of The Tongue
Question: I have been running a fever only at night (after 8 PM) up to 101.5 since Sunday night. I have muscle pain in the upper shoulders, lower back, and the top of head is sore to touch. Also experiencing a tenderness on the sides of my tongue, and my stomach is a little uncomfortable. I do receive some comfort with a warm herbal pillow on my head or shoulders. During the day no fever, and only a little muscle discomfort. Thoughts on what this is and is it contagious. I don't want to stay home from work, if it isn't contagious. thanks

Dear Ms
Going by description of your symptoms it appears to be viral prodromal symptoms . In the absence of significant respiratory symptoms like cough / running nose , its unlikely to be contagious.
As in any viral illness, taking adequate bed rest helps in fast resolution of symptoms. I would suggest you to take adequate bed rest , oral antipyretic/analgesics and plenty of oral fluids.
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you
