Suggest Treatment For Persistent Sneezing And Severe Body Pain
Question: I have been sneezing for about two days now with that the third day i have been shivering and severe body aches on the side of my legs, my back and my head throbbing with pain. I am having painkillers but they arent working and the pain in my body is getting worst. I am so helpless and dont know what to do.
Brief Answer:
you may continue for another 24 hours
Detailed Answer:
Hello Ghauri,
If I were you I would wait for another 24 to 48 hours with every 8 hourly pain killer like Ibuprofen or Naproxen. i would also an antihistamine like Fexofenadine or Cetrizine formulations every 8 hourly as per the adult dose.
I would advise to rest at home and hydration is the key here. You should have enough water and proper diet to tide over the health crisis. If it does not get any better in next 24 hours I would head to a clinic or A&E.
I suspect the entire problem to be viral attack if you are previously a healthy person with otherwise no medical complications. If you had other related medical problems then you should seek a course of antibiotic at a clinic nearby.
Hope you get better soon. If you do not have any other medical inquiry you may close our discussion here.
