Suggest Treatment For Headache And Sore Throat
Hi, I had a viral thing about 3 weeks ago that included a diffused rash from neck down to mid-thigh, fever, headache, sore throat and extreme fatigue. A week ago the rash subsided, the fever only lasted about 24hrs and now I am still left with a headache and sore throat that begins in the early evening, come morning the headache and sore throat is gone.... I am stumped! Do you have any ideas?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms of the viral infection usually last from a week to ten day.
if the last more,as in your case, a physical examination is needed for further evaluation.
A cycle of antibiotics may be needed to treat the sore throat.
Meanwhile,I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the headache
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
