Hi, I have been having light fever and sore throat for a few weeks now, it comes for a few days and then I feel ok. It makes me feel ill and tired and my sinus are blocked and I find it difficult to open my eyes. It feels like flu symptoms but Im not coughing.At times I feel that the centre of my skull is quite hot. What do you think it may be please? Thanks a lot.
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor Team. Understanding your concern. As per your query light fever, sore throat with flu like symptoms along with blockage of sinuses could be because of peritonsillar infection and infection of vocal cords. I would suggest you to visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. Doctor may order certain test like throat swab test, viral culture test or x-ray to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other causes. Take combination of antibiotic preferably Azithromycin or Appoint along with paracetamol for fever relief. Do warm saline gargles. Maintain proper oral hygiene. Take steam inhalation to reduce the congestion of throat. Keep sipping warm water. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
