How Can Pain In The Muscles And Joints Be Treated After Recovering From Flu?

In the past 36 hours I have begun to have a lot of pain in my muscles and joints, as if I just overdid a workout or went skiing or something and I haven t done anything. I did have the flu last week but thought I was over that. I m female, 52, not overweight, a regular fast walker and otherwise in pretty good health.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Since you had flu last week, you should complete the dose of medication prescribed. Incomplete dosage of medicines may result in relapse or continuation of the symptoms. Take antibiotics (Tamiflu), Acetaminophen (Tylenol), decongestants and ORS.
Sometimes due to imbalance in the electrolyte balance of your body or dehydration may cause body ache or muscular pain. Take soup, juice, ORS and vitamin supplements.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K.
