What Are Body Ache, Swelling In The Throat And Dizziness Suggestive Of?

My boyfriend is having full body pain, swelling in the throat, headaches, dizziness and he s very tired as well. He works out hard every morning, eats healthy, and is in good shape. The only thing I can think of that he does that is unhealthy for him is that he Chews Tobacco. Any ideas what could be wrong?

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your query you have body ache, swelling in the throat and dizziness which is due to viral infection leading to inflamed tonsils known as Tonsillitis. The symptoms are probably occurred due to viral infection. The symptoms will go away in few days by its own. You should take Ibuprofen or Naproxen to relieve pain and inflammation of tonsils. You can gargle with a numbing mouthwash for relief of pain.

Do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day. Use mist humidifiers in room. Chew a Vitamin C pellet daily. You should give rest to your throat speak less. Go for steam inhalation. Visit an ENT specialist once and get it thoroughly examined. Start treatment after proper diagnosis along with this go for lab tests such as blood and swab test. Doctor may prescribe antibacterial or antiviral depending upon the diagnosis.

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

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
