Question 1

what percentage of vaccine recipients have experienced fever and/or flu-like symptoms after receiving the second dose of the moderna vaccine? i received 1st dose yesterday, but am nervous about potential side effects from the second in a few weeks?

Accepted Answer

: It is good that you took the vaccine. The side effects from vaccine, if any, are usually mild and transient. If you get fever or aches and pains, take acetaminophen, no more than 4 g/day, no alcohol.
Make sure to get the second dose for optimal protection.
Wish you good health!

Question 2

using aldara (imiquimod) for genitalwarts, given by my doctor. i use it in anus. any dangerous side effects ? i have flu like symptoms. is aldara (imiquimod) creme safe ? :-)

Accepted Answer

Flu symptoms: Aldara (imiquimod) enhances your immune system to attack hpv and warts in the applied area. However, your body reacts feeling like you're coming down with the flu. Take some Acetaminophen and you should feel better.

Question 3

Could be: I would contact your doctor who prescribed the Aldara (imiquimod) and let him/her know about it.

Question 4

how long after receiving ivig can you experience side effects like headaches nausea fatigue bodyches (flu like) symptoms?

Accepted Answer

3 days: A 56 year old female received IVIG, now with headaches, nausea, fatigue, and bodyaches. Usually these symptoms last no more than 3 days, but I have had patients that have had these side effects for 5 days after infusion. Try tylenol (acetaminophen) for the headaches and bodyaches. If the symptoms persist beyond that, please see your primary care physician or the physician who prescribed the IVIG.

Question 5

i have flu-like symptoms (body aches, mild sore throat, fever, nausea at first), however i also just recently changed my contraceptive pill. so i'm not sure if i am experiencing flu or side effects from the change of pill.

Accepted Answer

Unlikely to be: the contraceptive method/change causing these symptoms.  More likely a virus.

Question 6

what can cause reoccurring flu like symptoms come and go monthly?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: If you are having unexplained fever, chills, sweats and body aches (assuming unrelated to menses or ovulation) then see md to exclude autoimmune disorder.

Question 7

can hpv cause flu like symptoms ?

Accepted Answer

No: Hpv is similar to weeds in your lawn.It grows where the virus starts & doesn't go further unless it seeds another surface. It does not enter your blood like a flu or move through your body.It's symptoms arise from the physical changes at the location it infects.

Question 8

can the ebv cause flu like symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no: Acute Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection causes infectious mononucleosis, also called glandular fever. The main symptoms are partly "flu like":  fever, headache, muscle aches, sore throat. Usually there also are enlarged lymph nodes in several areas, which is not flu like. Flu causes cough, mono does not. You cannot make a good conclusion based only on symptoms. See a doctor. Good luck.

Question 9

can gonorrhea cause flu like symptoms?

Accepted Answer

PID possible: Gonorrhea can certainly go beyond a simple cervical infection and become a more serious infection, called pid.  If you have been diagnosed with gonorrhea and are having more "systemic" symptoms, then you need to contact your doctor.  If, as you say, are having other things like mouth ulcers, then talk to your doctor about the possibility of some other type of infection as well.

Question 10

can sertraline cause flu like body pain?

Accepted Answer

No: No, typical side effects are short term nausea and headaches, this may last a few days and then goes away.
