Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you are having symptoms of difficulty in swallowing, breathing, fatigue and body pain seems to be due to viral pharyngitis which is a matter of definite concern. The symptoms like difficulty in swallowing is probably due to tonsillitis due to viral infection . I would suggest you to start with course of antiviral and anti-inflammatory drugs for upper respiratory tract infection. Do warm saline gargles 3-4 times a day with lukewarm water. I would also suggest you to consult ENT specialist without any delay as there is breathing issues. Take diet rich in fruits rich in vitamin C as it will boost your immunity. You should do tepid sponging as well. Avoid intake of outside food and take diet rich in multivitamins. Take rest properly. Take liquid diet or soft food for now.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
