Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat With Fever, Fatigue And Headache

Hi - my illness started 2 weeks ago with a sore throat. Throat got worse during my week of international travel and I was tired but managed to get back - was under rage weather but could function. Since last Tuesday I have been down with fatigue and congestion and still feeling feverish off and on. My eyes loom exhausted and I also feel like one of my ears is plugged. Slight headache at times but not much. No body plain but feel like resting all the time. It s been 10 days and the lack of improvement concerns me. I was on the 5 day Zithromax last week due to the plugged ear. Can you please help me figure out what this is. Does not seem like the flu as it is taking so long. No constipation or diarrhea either. Appreciate your help and guidance.

Hi
In view of your symptoms , first of all , i ll suggest you take a tablet paracetamol 500 mg or ibuprofen 4oo mg now and after every 4-6 hours but not on empty stomach .

Try to take nutritious Liquids like fresh fruit juices , Milk and soup etc frequently every day .(Avoid sweet drinks if you are diabetic)

Take rest as much as possible for few days .

some of the viral fever may take a similar course as you mentioned . But if not getting well after few days better to do some blood test like , CBC , CRP and ESR.
