A member asked:

I have sore throat, headaches, off and on fevers, and horrible dry cough. what could this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Infection: Sounds like you have an infection. What kind - is a different question. Most likely viral, strep is a possibility but cough is less likely in its case unless it's from the throat irritation. If it's not improving, see doc.
