Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have sore throat, headache, body pain and tiredness which seems to be due to upper respiratory tract infection. Dont be worried so much I will suggest you to consult Ent surgeon for examination of throat and in meantime you can take medicine like Allegra and Azithromycin by consulting with local doctor . Do warm saline gargle 2 - 4 times a day .Take decongestant nasal spray containing Xylometazoline or oxymetazoline. You can do steam inhalations and use a humidifier in your room. Chew a Vitamin C pellet daily to improve immunity. Doctor may also refer you to anti viral drugs in case of viral infection.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
