A member asked:

I have a temperature of 38c, throat is really painful to swallow, painful sides of neck, body all tender, hot flashes & chills? thanks

Need a physician: While this may just be an upper respiratory infection the possibility of strep throat certainly exists. You need to see a physician because strep throat can lead to many other things. In the meantime take acetaminophen, or ibuprofen , Drink lots of liquids and stay comfortable.
