What Causes Sore Throat, Sneezing And Chills?

I started sneezing last weekend. By Monday I had a sore throat and chills. We were doing allot of work up and downstairs etc. and I think I was tired but pressed on Tuesday. By Tuesday I was starting to get a headache and by Wednesday my calf muscles were killing me. If I hadn t done this same work when we leave our place every year, I would probably think that had something to do with the calf aches, but I ve done the same work for 25 yrs. Also years past I think I had some allergies that caused this loss of voice and when I took Claritin (it had helped) but, I would get sooooo tired, so I haven t taken any this time b/c I just hate to fall asleep during the day. I ve been using salt water up my nose and to gargle with, which usually helps, but not this time, and of course this makes me very thirsty, so now I drink more water. I was getting 7 hrs. sleep last week but last night I got 9 hrs and that usually fixes me up and cures whatever ails me as I am very healthy and take no meds other than Boniva. I hate to go to the Dr. and have him tell me it s just a cold, so I m putting it off. But since I have no earth shattering symptoms, I thought I would see if you have any suggestions please ? Thank you very much for listening !!!

Hello,

As you explain the situation given the fact that the above are not working than you can try nebulizer with steroids such as CLENIL twice for some days and antihistamines too such as Loratadien before sleeping.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jolanda Nikolla, Pulmonologist
