Suggest Treatment For Joint Pain, Nausea And Fever
Question: sore joints mainly in neck and jaws, red painful welts on extremities and face, extremely tired, no appetite, very nauseous, moderate to high fever
Brief Answer:
Anti inflammatory drugs. Opinion of a rheumatologist
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the query
The symptoms you describe are very suggestive of a chronic inflammatory disease . Conditions like polymyalgia rheumatica, systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis can present as such.
I suggest you take simple anti inflammatory drugs of non steroid origin like Ibuprofen or Diclofenac with pain killers and book an appointment with rheumatologist.In case you have a past history of peptic ulcer disease, adding 20mg of Omeprazole daily might be useful.
Thanks and kind regards
