10 Upper Respiratory Infection Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #7: Aching Body
Another common symptom that all of us are likely to have experienced at one point is an aching body. Depending on the severity, it can feel as though we have been through a tough time, physically, even when we have not. It is a symptom that some people with an upper respiratory infection will experience.
The aches are caused by inflammation of the muscles and joints. This inflammation is caused by chemicals that are released by white blood cells in an effort to cure the illness. The pains are not usually too difficult to bear, and they can be eased with readily available remedies.
