I got a headache and a sore throat. What kind of sickness do I have?

Maybe the stuff you were inhaling from the turtle tank gave you a sinus infection which is where the headache would come from - do you feel it on your temples, and pressure behind your eyes, nose, and bridge of nose?  The sore throat could also be from irritannts from the tank, or just part of the sinus infection... it sounds like you just have a regular cold though, and the turtle tank was just a coinincidents.  If it persists go to the doctor.  In the meantime just take it easy and drink lots of water.

The symptoms of strep throat are a fever, sore throat, headache and sometimes queezy stomach. You can get a sandpaper feeling rash on your torso and this is the forst sign of scarlet fever caused by the strep virus. If you have a sore thoat and then start getting a runny nose or cough(cold symptoms), then you probably just have pharyngitis which is a sore throat associated with a cold virus. The only way to know for sure is a throat culture. Good luck!

Make sure that the Sore throat is not caused by some other source than your usaul cough and flu.\n\n\n\nfor example make sure it is not a STD of some sort.\nYour Doctor is best to ask of course.

Since your throat only hurts on and off it is probably due to draining of the sinuses.  You can gargle with salt water to help the soreness.  For the congestion, I would suggest you go and take a nice hot shower, and let it spray on the base of your head, that should help at least temporarily.  You didn't say what the antibiotic is, but it's probably some sort of penicillin.  If you take it, just make sure you drink plenty of water with it, and watch for signs of allergic reaction.\nAlso, a decongestant/antihistamine should help also.\nGood Luck.

Heartache and headache?

Knock yourself out with Benadryl or store-brand equivalent. Nothing helps sickness better than rest, and if you're running around all day, it'll take longer to recover. Trust me, I take only one day off when I'm sick to sleep most of the day, and I'm better the next morning! But if you take the Benadryl, it'll stop the nose issues as well as the headache and since your nose won't be runny, your cough will diminish because your throat won't be as aggravated by muscus. Good luck!

they should do a lumbar puncture---this happens alot to people-the get dismissed as having the flu-and sent home--you do have rights--if you still have severe headaches and a fever and there is a ? of a siezure---go back to the ER and be aggressive about getting tested

Gargle with salt water,they say that helps, but I have found just sucking on a pepermint helps with the cough and throat.I bought some of that Tylenol Cool Burst,its a liquid,and it feels so good going down....also help you sleep.I hope you get to feeling better soon..I hate being sick too.

Usually an infection.  Not necessarily a big deal, unless you also have fever and other symptoms.  Get some rest and drink plenty of clear fluids, and feel better soon.

It sounds like an upper respiratory infection to me, not the flu.  If you ever had the flu, you'd be too weak to write this much on the computer, trust me.  Of course you want to up your fluids with water and juices.  Lay off of the carbonated drinks because they will irritate your bladder and just cause more dehydration.  Hot tea or broth (chicken) will soothe the sore throat; gargelling with warm salt water (1tsp. per cup) for a few minutes will also comfort the throat; take 2-3 aspirin with food (crackers) it will reduce the inflammation/pain and fever.  As for the cough, you can take cough meds if you have them, or honey will help too.  If you're running your heater in your home, it will dry out your bronchi and cause a dry cough.   If you have a vaporizer use it, if not, just put out a pan of water close to your bed to keep the air moist (you can take a good hot shower and that will help also).  Keep warm, get alot of rest and I'm sure you'll be feeling better in the am.  If you're having yellow/green mucous coming up, definitely see a doc.  If not, it will pass in a few days.  Godloveya.

When I first get the flu, I get really tired and my body aches. Start drinking lots of fluid/natural juice right now! You will thank yourself later!

your 'sore throat' could now be a laryngitis or tonsilitis. thats an infection that usually does not go away by itself = you prob will have to take antibiotics (most likely doxizycline). indicator for that is swating (=>fever) trouble swallowing (+ a lot of pain i would guess).\nwhen your breath begins to smell different, its an other indicator for the infections mentioned above.\nto make sure please go and see your doctor.\n\ngood luck
