Hello Doctor,
I’ve been feeling really unwell lately. It started with a head cold, but now I’m also dealing with headaches, nausea, and a sore throat. I’ve been coughing, and I’m experiencing hot and cold chills. What could be going on, and what should I do to feel better?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Based on what you’ve described, it sounds like you may have pharyngitis, which is an infection in your throat. I recommend seeing a healthcare professional for a full blood count and possibly a throat swab to determine the exact cause and appropriate treatment.
In the meantime, please keep warm and stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, such as warm teas or broths. Avoid cold exposure, as it may worsen your symptoms. If your condition doesn’t improve in a few days or worsens, seek medical attention promptly. Take care, and I hope you feel better soon!
Thanks
