What Causes Sore Throat With Tingling Muscles ?

My whole body all of a sudden started aching, I have a sore throat and a stuffy nose. My head literally feels like it is about to explode. I get really dizzy when I stand up and every muscle in my body is sore and tingly. Is this just a summer flu or something I should be more concerned about? It all of a sudden just hit me today and no onset signs.

Hi..

As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from upper respiratory tract infection, and the symptoms of sore throat, nasal congestion and sore muscles can be due to it..

The infection will however resolve once the virus will complete its cycle in human body as it is probably viral infection..

As of now you can start with supportive treatment to relieve the symptoms like:
1. Gargle with a warm saline solution that is by mixing 1 teaspoon salt in a glass of water and warm it to make a luke warm solution..
2. Take a combination of decongestant like Phenylephrine, mucolytic like Ambroxol and anti allergic levocetrizine and another combination of Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen..
3. Do steam inhalations..
4. Avoid spicy and chilled foods..
5. Sip on warm water throughout the day..

Hopefully the symptoms will resolve within a week and if it worsen consult a General Physician and get evaluated..

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Honey Arora, Dentist
