### input:
I thought I had a cold or flu coming on so when i began to sneeze and have a sore throat i began my vitamin c airborne routine.  I thought it had knocked it out but about 1 week later in the middle of the night i would have a plugged nose and sore throat so i started the airborne again.  About two days later i woke up with a stiff neck and thought it was a kink but it was stiff and headachy with a full feeling nasal area for about a week then the stiffness subsided during the day now its almost gone day 17 but two or three days ago some of my fingers and toes began to ache feeling like i jammed my pointer on my right hand ..they are swollen and tender two fingers on left hand and two on right plus one toe on right and two toes on left.....today i have a sore throat and feel like my neck lymph is swollen my fingers ache the toes are tolerable with ibuprofen regularly and airborne. I hope you can help me..i dont have medical as i began a new job recently and it doesnt kick in until May.

Thanks for your query at Chat Doctor! I am Infectious Disease Specialist! I went through your query! You need thorough examination and set of investigations to come to diagnosis whether viral, bacterial or tubercular, in nature or malignancy. Take paracetamol and nasal decongestants. Do saline gargles 6-8 times/day. You probably have had a secondary infection over your primary viral infection. You will need antibiotic prescription to see cure for 2 weeks. If it persists you need further evaluation. Happy to take more queries! You can also write a review for me. If you would like some more information, I will be happy to provide. You can take a follow-up query. Take care!
