A doctor has provided 1 answer

Viral: These are hallmarks of a viral flu like upper respiratory tract infection. At this time treatment consists of resting, drinking adequate fluids,taking acetaminophen for body aches and gargling with warm salt water or sucking on lozenges. If sore throat worsens instead of improving, get a throat culture to check for strep for which antibiotics would be prescribed.
