What Causes Frequent Body Chills, Sore Throat And Headache?

I had chills for several hours during the night. It started a couple of days earlier with a sore throat and headache. I am wheezing especially when laying on the left side. Am coughing and have phlegm now changing from clear to green with some specks of blood. Not sure if this could be bronchitis or pneumonia, or just a flu bug. Feel lime I have been run over by a truck.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

As per your symptoms you are suffering from Viral Infection body chills, sore throat and headache is due to it. There might be a secondary bacterial infection along with viral infection.
Following remedies may be done
1.Salt Water Gargle- Mix 1 tsp of salt with warm water in a glass. Gargle for roughly 15-20 seconds and spit out. You can repeat this as needed for 2-3 days. Remember to spit the water rather swallowing it.
2.Take anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen/acetaminophen it will reduce pain & swelling.
3. You should take a antibotic like azithromycin or augmentin.
4.Drink plenty of water & Take rest.

You will start improving in 3 to 4 days..

Hope this information helps.
