What Causes Fatigue And Muscle Ache While Suffering From Severe Cold?

i had a severe cold for about a week. Just after I started to feel better,,. I suddenly got an upset stomach and extreme fatigue... my throat feels funny... not sore but dry and I have had significant muscle aches today. I still have a little sinus drainage and a little bit of a cough from the cold... But the extreme fatigue and muscle aches seemed to come out of nowhere.

Hi welcome to the healthcare magic.

According to history provided it seems to be upper viral respiratory infection..
Muscle pain can occur as a result of constitutional symptom and by low energy intake.

Your work up done as follow...
-Auscultation
-CBC
-ESR or CRP
-Throat swab and ASO titre
-If dark yellow urine and severe right hypochondrium pain present than usg abdomen and SGPT,SGOT needs to be done

If wet cough present with excess mucus than ambroxol cough syrup can be taken

For gastritis and abdominal pain pantoprazole tablet can be consumed

Take vitamin C lozenges that is helpful in viral infection

For congestion relief decongestant like phenylephrine prescribed

Take lots of water

If cbc show high count with neutrophiia thab antibiotic course prescribed

If still no improvement than further work up will be planned ..

Consult physician for examination with keeping all this in mind.

Take care

Hope your concern solved
