Suggest treatment for back pain and symptoms of flu
Patient: Woke up yesterday morning with a head cold, and minor symptoms of the flu. Progressed throughout the day, until my back starting hurting extremely bad. Im completely bed ridden and need to get back to work... I do see a chiropractor regularly, however my symptoms are much more severe than just back pain . Any advice would be most appreciated. Doctor: thank you for sharing your complain,symptoms you described suggests respiratory tract infection-flu like symptoms. take simple medication like paracetamol three times per day, cetirizine-10mg at evening. you can also take antibiotic like levofloxacin/amoxycillin to prevent secondary infection.this will clear all your symptoms. if back pain severe you can take ibuprofen.if symptoms appear severe consult your family doctor first.hope this answer will be helpful to you.for more queries plz don't hassitate to ask.get well soon dear friend
