I have a sore throat that has lasted roughly 3 weeks. I feel achy all the time and tired. I am 50 years old and a non-smoker. What can I do?

I am sorry to hear that you have been unwell.

Considering the symptoms you describe, the most likely diagnosis is that you have a viral infection.

However, we would normally expect such problems to resolve well within 3 weeks and because symptoms have lingered for this length of time, I would suggest that you seek the help of your doctors in order to obtain a diagnosis.

If your doctors are in agreement that it is the residue of a viral infection, he may suggest some treatment.

Alternatively, you might wish to consider using Echinaforce Hot Drink – this has both anti-viral and immune system properties and is our remedy of choice for someone with your symptoms.
