I have a fever, dysphagia and headache!?

the fever is recurring. what otc meds do you suggest???

If you are using a word like dysphagia ( trouble swallowing, usually due to a physical issue) as opposed to odynophagia (pain with swallowing) to describe your sore throat, I have a feeling you already know what OTC med to take......

Motrin or ibuprofen

If it were only fever and headaches, I'd say just take acetominophen, but dysphagia is another matter. That could be a sign of a neurological problem; I suggest getting to a doctor or ER/urgent care soon.

fever can suggest u have an infection, a blood picture would help reveal it..
dyspagia can point to eosophagitis, or it could be some foreign body stuck in the throat , contrast xray..can diagnose this..
a visit to a doctor would fiqure things out for u.. i suggest it. good luck
ps, dont take anitbiotics.. coz some of them can aggrevate ur condition.and if its a viral infection ..it wont help at all, ..
