What Causes Persistent Tiredness, Headaches And Sore Throat?

I am always tired. When given a choice to sleep or do anything else, I always choose sleep. I ve been feeling this way for several months now. Am taking prozac 40 mgs for several years now. My oldest son was in a terrible accident in July 2015 and was given less than 10 percent chance of survival. He did survive but is TBI. He has been home with home health nurse help for past four months. He is making substantial recovery but will never be the same as before. Frequent headaches. Sore throats, post nasal drip.

Hi Dear,

welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of persistent tiredness, headaches and sore throat which is due to streptococcal infection leading to strep throat and it could be due to poor immunity of body which is making to susceptible to infections. Need not to worry. You should avoid cold carbonated beverages. For now continue doing gargles and drink one spoon of honey mix with glass of lukewarm water. I would suggest gargle with an antimicrobial mouthwash such as Listerine. You should take steam inhalation with vaporizers. You should take antibiotics like Amoxicillin for 5 days. Avoid spicy, hot and sharp food substances. You should take anti-inflammatory painkiller Ibuprofen for relief from pain and inflammation. You should avoid cold carbonated beverages. Visit ENT specialist once and get throat culture and sputum test done to find out exact cause and start treatment accordingly. You should take steam inhalation along with vaporizers.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
