What causes muscle and joint pains and swollen tonsil?
Patient: My age is 40 yrs, 4.9ft. I started treatment 10 weeks ago for abnormal BP with 1 tab Hydrochlorothiazide and2 tab Methyldopa. Then 3 days later the Dr introduce Bromazepam 1.5mg. The night i took the drugs, I develop flu like symptom of sore throat and swollen thronsil, muscle and joint pains, high fever, slight coug h and tiny looking rash all over my body except my head and neck region. I became scare that my girlfriend must have infect me with HIV. Two week ago she did a handjob on my penis and it really hurt me, but didn't see wound. I then had protected sex with her but the condom could not reach an open boil i had at the boundary between my penis and soctrum. Is this allergic reaction or has she infected me with HIV, because i presume she is HIV positive with all the symptoms I see in her. Doctor please I have not been my self ever since. It like I am beginning to get insane. Just 2 weeks ago I had an open sore on my penis. Please help me. Doctor: Thank you for your contact to Health Care Magic,  i strongly recommend you to visit AIDS centre, give AIDS test and start HIV prophylaxis, you don't be upset it can happen with anybody, but prophylaxis is very effective, you just start to drink medicines,which HIV specialist or infectionist will prescribe you. I think you have usual viral infection. I suggest-1. Paracetamol, allegra.2. Rince gurgle with chlorhexidine.3.Hot drinks.4.Lozenges-strepsils 1 tablets 4 times or sualin5.Avoid sour cold drinks.6.Don't take risk more      You know some people are not sensitive to HIV, but better do prophylaxis.    Take care!      Regards     Dr.Sagar Gaurav Shrivastva
