How Can Sore Throat And Body Ache Be Treated?

Hello I have no had a cold in 3 years. I woke up yesterday and drank a cold of orange juice. In 2 hours I had a bad sore throat and now I lost my voice and I have body aches. I have a conference this Saturday and I am suppose to present for 1 hour. I am so concerned that I wont regain my voice by then. How can I speed up my recuperation.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sore throat and body ache which is due to bacterial infection which has spread down respiratory tract and leading to loss of voice.

Need not tow worry. Gargle with a numbing mouthwash for relief of pain. Do warm saline gargles 3- 4 times a day. Use mist humidifiers in room. Chew a Vitamin C pellet daily. You should take antibiotics like Levofloxacin or Azithromycin for 3- 5 days. You should give rest to your throat speak less. Go for steam inhalation. visit ENT specialist once and get it thoroughly examined. Start treatment after proper diagnosis along with this go for lab tests such as blood and swab test.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
