Suggest Remedy For Persistent Bodyache And Headache Post Treatment For Cold Flu

I had a cold that developed into what seems like the flu (even though I did have a flu shot). I have body aches and muscle twitching and bad headache for the last week which will not go away even with rest. Every few minutes I have a sharp pain in my right temple which makes me sick. Is there some type of shot I can ask for if I go to a doctor tomorrow? This is the first time I have felt sick in about 7 years and take no medications, except over the counter Thera flu this week. It has not really helped. Thank you for your suggestion.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There is no shot that would help all of your symptoms though a pain killer can be given this way.
Your doctor can give your oral medication to help relieve some of your symptoms after he or she examines you to determine exactly what is the exact cause.

The symptoms are flu like though the flu would usually also cause symptoms such as nasal congestion, cough, sorethroat etc

If these are absent, your doctor may try to determine if there is another cause of your symptoms.

I hope this helps
