Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat And Fever
Question: I stared having sore throat then fever for almost a week but now I also have a really weird chest pain
Brief Answer:
better to do some investigations
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to HealthcareMagic,
I can understand your concern
As you explain the history I think that it would be better for you to be examined by your doctor.
If you were my patient I would recommend you to do some examinations as follows :
Hemogram
CRP
Chest X-Ray
If the results come negative than nothing to worry about it is a viral situation for sure and it will pass soon.
If the results are positive due to a bacterial superimpose than you should start prescription antibiotics like Clarithromycin twice orally for a week along with painkillers.
So talk with your doctor and explain your actual situation.I am sure you will be advised for the above.
Regards and feel free to ask me again
