Allergic reaction?: There are a number of conditions which may be associated with these symptoms. A virtual consultation is available on Healthtap. An allergic reaction may cause these symptoms, aspiration/reflux and onset of a flu like illness. Monitor your temperature, try an over the counter antihistamine for two days to gauge any change in symptoms. GERD treatment may also be used after assessing the effect.
