Now i am running a low grade fever with the chills. what could this be?
HiT hanks for your query. You are suffering from sore throat and as a consequence there is cough which may have some allergic component also. In this regard I will advise you to take an antibiotic in the form of azithromycin 500 mg once daily for 6 days with vapor inhalation and gurgling with Luke warm water. Give your voice rest for 2-3 days. Take a levocetrizine tablet 5 mg once daily at night for 7 days. Take plenty of water. Avoid cold. I think you will be quite ok in 4-5 days. If not then a throat swab culture sensitivity should be done in order to choose proper antibiotics. Thank you.
