Thank you for your questions. The following answers regarding your current queries are just general descriptions due to the limited information provided by you. Click on this link (DoctorOnCall) for a private consultation with our doctors.

We truly understand the concerns regarding your symptoms that you are facing and these symptoms might be related to each other which are due to the same cause.
Regarding your jaw pains that you face after having a sore throat, fever and body aches, it might be caused by the following reasons:

  • Tonsilitis
  • Viral infection
  • Sialadenitis
  • Streptococcal pharyngitis
  • Any kind of systemic inflammatory disease
  • Rheumatic fever

The occurence of body aches and fever strongly suggest a streptoccocal infection which can cause an immune reaction throughout the body, thus the body aches and jaw pain.
In order for us to provide you with an accurate choice of treatment and management, we need additional details to explore further into your current complaints. We greatly suggest you to ask a reconsultation from your previous doctor and they will forward your case to a more suitable specialist regarding you problem.
