Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Are Headache And Body Pain Symptoms Of Flu Infection?
I have been experiencing pounding frontal lobe headaches (I never get headaches) and body and skin aches for the past 10 days now. I have felt as though I was getting the flu but have no other symptoms. I rarely take pain meds and have lived on ibuprophen for these past 10 days. Is there a flu bug going around that is just this simple symptom?
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms don't seem to be related to to a viral infection. I recommend and to use anti-inflammatory medication such as Acetaminophen to relieve the muscle and joint pain. I also recommend the rest and drink liquid. I suggest to eat a healthy diet and take a multivitamin supplement.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
