Brief Answer:
Seems like the beginning of a common cold, but will have to follow up.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for using Healthcaremagic to post your health query.
I read carefully your question and I understand your concern.

All these symptoms may be the beginning of a common cold.
Did these symptoms just started today?
Do you have fever?
Do you suffer from any chronic problem?

I advise that you take Ibuprofen 400mg to relieve the heaving feeling in your head, try to have some rest and drink plenty of fluids, and follow up with me in a few hours if any new symptom appear. The more information you give me, the better I will be able to help and advise.

Looking forward to your follow up question.

Regards,     
Dr. Papaqako

I have had this for the past 4-5 days. I do have Sarcoidosis. But it has been in remission for quite some time. It seems more like a flu, however no fever. My ears are also bothering me a bit, mostly the left ear. Is ibuprofen safe to take?

Brief Answer:
Yes, Ibuprofen is safe to be used in Sarcoidosis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

If you don't have contraindications about Ibuprofen, then you can use it. Make sure you are not allergic to aspirin, or you don't have high blood pressure. I don't know exactly all your health problems, but if you have had Sarcoidosis only, then it is safe to be used.

You should start feeling better in 1-2 days.

If this situation continues, consider seeing a local doctor who can examine you and rule out a possible remission of sarcoidosis or any other problems.

Drink plenty of fluids, to avoid dehydration.

Hope this is helpful.
Please let me know if you have other questions or concerns.

Regards,
Dr. Papaqako
