What Causes Cold Sensation In Body And Throat Pain?

I woke up one day and felt freezing cold though the house was warm. I could not sleep all night because it felt unusually cold for me. I tried to stand but I felt slightly dizzy and my head hurt. When I swallowed, my throat hurt. It was more like an ache in the area where the back of your tongue presses against the back of your throat when you swallow rather than the kind of itchiness when you have a cold. This kept up all day. the next day the dizziness was gone, but my throat still aches when I swallow. I am 12 years old. I am about 4 10 . I way exactly 100lb

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of cold sensation in body and throat pain which seems to be due to upper respiratory tract infection which is caused by viral/ bacterial microorganism. But in your case the symptoms are probably due to viral infection. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should go for throat swab test , viral culture test and get blood tests done and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Doctor may prescribe antibacterial or anti viral depending upon the diagnosis . Avoid intake of outside food. Avoid spicy and salty food substances. You should do warm saline gargles. You should take steam inhalation. You should take antiallergic medication such as Levocetirizine. Take proper course of antibiotic along with mucolytic agents.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
