A viral infection giving rise to the common cold or head colds can give you pains in your muscles, bones and joints.
The primary reason for this is that when the immune system responds to these infections, inflammatory chemicals are released. The primary purpose of these will be to destroy the viruses in your body, but sometimes, they spill over to body tissues, leading to inflammation in muscles and joints.
The approach we would recommend for these pains would be to focus on the root cause of the problem which is the viral infection. We would suggest the use of Echinacea and if symptoms are more troublesome than usual, a combination of Echinacea and Elderberry will be the best option for you.
