Suggest Treatment For Cough And Severe Headaches

for the last 2 days I have had whats not a headache but when I cough or turn my head too quickly there is a lot of pain. along with this I get cold chills that last for 30 minutes followed by a fever and cold sweats. Also lower back in a lot of pain. I have recently been on a fishing journey in OHIO. I have a lot of scratches and looks like possible bite marks from mosquitos.

Hi,

You are having fever, pain in head, back pain and cough for 2 days. Probably this indicates a respiratory infection. The scratches might not be related. If you are not very lethargic, no yellowish nasal discharge(suggests sinusitis in this setting) or yellow sputum coughing out, try taking paracetamol 3 times a day for 3 days. Also take rest, drink enough fluids and have a soft diet.

If you are not getting better by then or above said symptoms are present, kindly see your doctor as this may need antibiotic therapy.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
