What Causes Extreme Body Pain And Headache After Being Treated For Typhoid And Malaria?

I am 27 and about 150cm in height. I weigh 69kg. I was treated of Typhoid and malaria over a period of one month. I took the following medication: Ciprotab,Augmentin,Amoxil,Coartem,Artemeter injection. I have had serious body pains for more than two weeks after taking these drugs..I have also had loose stools and mild headache.I have small cough too. I have tested twice for HIV in May and June.(I had to do this cause I kissed and fingered a girl of unknown hiv status on the 30th of April. i actually became scared, but the tests were negative on the 3rd and 7th week)...Please what could be the cause of this pain and loose stool?

Hi,
I understand your concern.
The body ache, headache and diarrhea are all the symptoms of toxicity that your body is still suffering through.
After the treatment of any infectious disease, even when all the disease causing elements are killed, the dead germs are still there and they give you these symptoms.
Apart from germs, the medicines also take a heavy toll on your body.
It can take at least one week for body to completely flush out these toxins.
Then you will feel better.
As far as Diarrhea is concerned, it must be due to antibiotics that you have taken.
You should take some multivitamins, fresh fruits, lots of water and proteinous diet to recover sooner. You can also take Curd, it should help resolve diarreha.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
