What Causes Sore Throat And Headache Along With Fever?
yes - Hi there. My wife has a very sore throat, fever and violent headache for the last 2 days. She saw her doctor at the clinic who simply said it was a viral infection & that she should just rest and take it easy. The headache in particular is most troublesome and Tylenol doesn t seem to do anything. Is there anything she might do that would lessen the headache? Thank you My wife is 69 years old, in relatively good shape & exercises daily-aquafitness. you can email me at YYYY@YYYY Elliot Goldenberg

Hello,
I think the doctor should examine her throat flashing a light into it to check for throat infection. If the doctor did it and it wasn't an infection then it can be really a viral infection. She can use Advil or Ketoprofen Lysine salt for headache. Also Oxycodone can be used.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing you all the best.
