My sister has night sweats, muscle tenderness/pain, cough, fatigue, chills and as she describes it symptoms very similar to the flu. But since she was on lovistatin for 2 years she thought at first it was from that. But she has been off the drug for threes weeks or longer with no improvement in symptoms. I was thinking she should see an infectious disease doctor. Help? Ashton
Thanks for posting your query to Chat Doctor . As I understand your sister is suffering from upper respiratory tract infection. It could be of invective or allergic in nature. I suggest you to maintain a good hygienic and nutritional condition as lower immunity is a predisposing condition for infection . As I understand it may be viral in nature . So I suggest you to take 1. Antihistamines with mast cell stabilizer : Cetirizine 10 mg with Montelukast 5 mg tablet once in a day.(Adult dose)Tablet Paracetamol 2 times a day as I in standard dose as per age of your sister for fever and body ache. Multivitamin with Zinc tablet to improve immune response. Antibiotic like Azithromycin 500 mg once in a day can be taken after consult local clinician as it has no role in viral illness. Hope I have solved your problem. Feel free to contact me. Chat Doctor.
